| Summary | "The Mormons: A Discourse Delivered Before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania" by Thomas L. Kane is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This discourse delves into the experiences and hardships faced by the Mormon community during their migration and settlement in the American wilderness, particularly focusing on their tribulations after being expelled from Nauvoo. At the start of the discourse, Kane sets a vivid scene of desolation and struggle as he recounts his journey to Nauvoo, where he discovers an eerie silence and signs of recent conflict in what was once a bustling city. He describes the "Dead City," once home to thousands of Mormons who now find themselves scattered and suffering. The narrative captures both the catastrophic consequences of their expulsion and the resilience of these people as they begin a challenging migration, highlighting the tragic loss of lives and the struggle for survival amidst harsh conditions—foreshadowing the trials that the Mormon community endured as they ventured into the wilderness in search of stability and peace.
