Far West, Missouri gathers the firsthand accounts of early Latter-day Saint settlers who built a thriving city on the Missouri prairie only to be driven out under Governor Boggs's extermination order. Drawing on journals and personal histories, Dan and Janet Lisonbee trace Far West's founding, the revelations Joseph Smith received there, the naming of the Church, internal dissension, Adam-ondi-Ahman, the Battle of Crooked River, the Haun's Mill Massacre, the siege and surrender, and Liberty Jail—honoring the sacrifices of the faithful.
- The full eyewitness story behind D&C 121–123 and the words penned in Liberty Jail
- Where the Church received its official name and was called 'most holy'
- Firsthand pioneer accounts of the Haun's Mill Massacre and the extermination order
- A must-read companion for anyone touring LDS historical sites in Missouri
Perfect for a Latter-day Saint interested in early Church history, Missouri period sites, or family/pioneer ancestry who wants primary-source eyewitness accounts of Far West and the 1838 Mormon War.
