Now in paperback is this award winning history of religious conflict in early America. Hallwas and Launius have compiled and written one of the most balanced and thorough accounts yet of the events and circumstances that led to the forced Mormon exodus from Nauvoo, Illinois in the 1840s. They present an extensive selection of historical documents (a number of which have not been published previously) written by participants and contemporary observers and introduce them with probing discussions of the causes that underlay the conflict. Of particular concern to them are the role of contesting cultural myths and the relationship of events and attitudes in Illinois to the larger frontier and national scene.
