The City of the Mormons; or, Three Days at Nauvoo in 1842 is one of the most important contemporary accounts of Joseph Smith's Nauvoo.
Written by Anglican clergyman Henry Caswall after spending three days in the city in April 1842, this rare firsthand narrative records his observations of Mormon worship, the unfinished Nauvoo Temple, the Nauvoo House, Joseph Smith's Egyptian papyri, and conversations with church members and leaders-including Joseph Smith and Lucy Mack Smith.
The book is best known for Caswall's account of showing Joseph Smith an ancient Greek Psalter. According to Caswall, Smith declared the manuscript to be an Egyptian dictionary and connected its characters to the "reformed Egyptian" of the Book of Mormon. Whether readers agree with Caswall's interpretation or not, the episode remains one of the most frequently cited contemporary accounts relating to the Book of Abraham.
Beyond this famous encounter, Caswall documents the growth of Nauvoo, missionary efforts among British converts, temple construction, religious meetings, the Nauvoo Legion, and the atmosphere surrounding the rapidly expanding Latter-day Saint movement.
Although written from a critical Anglican perspective, Three Days at Nauvoo in 1842 remains an indispensable primary source for historians, students of Mormonism, and anyone interested in early American religious history.
This modern edition has been lightly edited for readability while preserving the original text and includes explanatory editorial notes to help modern readers understand the historical context.
