When Governor Boggs's 1838 extermination order forced thousands of Latter-day Saints from Missouri, the citizens of Quincy, Illinois, opened their homes and hearts to the destitute refugees. This edited collection of essays by leading LDS and regional historians documents that remarkable humanitarian episode—the Gallatin hearing and Joseph Smith's escape, the exile across the frozen Mississippi, life in Quincy in 1838–1840, local newspapers, architecture, and the deaths along the Mormon Trail. A rich, footnoted history honoring a city of refuge.
- The forgotten humanitarian story of the town that welcomed thousands of persecuted Saints
- Features Liz Lemon Swindle's iconic 'Emma Crossing the Ice' painting
- Leading LDS historians tackle the pivotal 1838-1839 refuge period between Missouri and Nauvoo
- Companion to any study of the Missouri persecutions and the founding of Nauvoo
Perfect for an adult Latter-day Saint or regional historian interested in the Church's Missouri persecution period and the little-known kindness Quincy showed the exiled Saints.
