A frontier city, its laws, faith, and militia collide in a vivid story of power, loyalty, and survival.
Drawing on historical records, this account shows how Nauvoo crafted a charter that protected religious liberty while building a police force, a temperance push, and a powerful new militia, the Nauvoo Legion. It also explores how city leaders envisioned a community that obeyed state and federal law even as it pursued its own path.
The book centers on the emergence of institutional power in 1841, from the first city council to the creation of a structured military force. It reveals how governance, religion, and defense intertwined in a town at the edge of the American frontier, and how those choices shaped life in Nauvoo and its neighbors.
Ideal for readers of frontier history, religious history, and studies of urban governance in the 19th century.
