About the Book:This book is a detailed historical account of the founding, growth, and eventual decline of Nauvoo, Illinois, a key city in the early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Published in 1900, the book explores how Nauvoo was established in 1839 by Joseph Smith and early Mormon pioneers after their expulsion from Missouri. At its peak, Nauvoo became a prosperous city with a population of around 12,000 and served as a major center for the Church. Roberts examines the religious and political life of Nauvoo, including the construction of the Nauvoo Temple and the introduction of important LDS practices. He also discusses the city's semi-autonomous status, with its own charter and militia, the Nauvoo Legion. However, rising tensions between Mormons and their non-Mormon neighbors eventually led to Joseph Smith’s arrest and assassination in 1844, contributing to the city's decline. The book chronicles the escalating violence and the eventual decision by Brigham Young to lead the Latter-day Saints in a mass exodus from Nauvoo in 1846, marking the end of the city as a Mormon stronghold. Roberts provides a scholarly and thorough analysis of this critical period, making *The Rise and Fall of Nauvoo* an essential resource for those studying early Mormon history and the life of Joseph Smith.
