Park excavates the brief, tragic life of a lost Mormon city, demonstrating that the Mormons are essential to understanding American history writ large. Using newly accessible sources, Park recreates the Mormons' 1839 flight from Missouri to Illinois. There, under the charismatic leadership of Joseph Smith, they founded Nauvoo, which shimmered briefly-but Smith's challenge to democratic traditions, as well as his new doctrine of polygamy, would bring about its fall. His wife Emma, rarely written about, opposed him, but the greater threat came from without: in 1844, a mob murdered Joseph, precipitating the Mormon trek to Utah. Throughout this chronicle, Park shows that far from being outsiders, the Mormons were representative of their era in their distrust of democracy and their attempt to forge a sovereign society of their own"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 289.3773 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 289.3773 Park Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 289.3773 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 289.3773 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 289.3773 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
