Summary | "The Rise and Fall of Nauvoo" by B. H. Roberts is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the religious, social, and political history surrounding the city of Nauvoo, Illinois, particularly focusing on the experiences of the early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and their leader, Joseph Smith. It serves to highlight the struggles faced by this community of faith and the oppression they endured while attempting to establish a haven for their beliefs. At the start of the narrative, the author outlines the intent of the book as a companion to his previous work, "The Missouri Persecutions." The opening portion introduces readers to Nauvoo as a beautiful and strategically important location along the Mississippi River, which became a burgeoning center for Latter-day Saints. Roberts emphasizes the significance of Nauvoo's rise as a symbol of religious freedom and resilience against the backdrop of systemic persecution they faced, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the city’s development, the political challenges it encountered, and the eventual exodus of its inhabitants amidst escalating tensions with non-Mormon residents.
