The Missouri Persecutions (1900)

Elder B. H. Roberts, with his characteristic detail, probes the most tumultuous history of the Latter-day Saints through the march of Zion's Camp; the settlement of the Saints in Jackson County; the election at Gallatin; the slaughter at Haun's Mill; the siege at Far West; and the inhumane treatment given to Church leaders in Liberty Jail. Selected as the Center Stake of Zion and destined to become a millennial world capital, the State of Missouri has always held fascination for Latter-day Saints. This classic history, coupled with its companion volume, THE RISE AND FALL OF NAUVOO, comprise one of the most sought-after expositions of the doctrinal and historical development of the Church. 333 pages
