THE RISE AND FALL OF NAUVOO is a companion volume and stands in historical sequence to "The Missouri Persecutions." It was written with the same object in view, viz., "To place in the hands of the youth of the Latter-day Saints a full statement of the persecutions endured by the early members of The Church in this last dispensation; * * * that they may be made acquainted with the sacrifices which their fathers have made for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ." And I indulge the same hope with reference to this book that I did with respect to "The Missouri Persecutions," viz., that by "becoming acquainted with the story of the sufferings of the early Saints, the faith of the Gospel will become all the more dear to the hearts of their immediate posterity, and all the youth of Zion, for many generations to come."[1]

Roberts' classic account of the Mormon establishment in Illinois and subsequent expulsion from the state is tendentious, impassioned, and plain-spoken; and these are some of the qualities that make this riveting book so notable. Roberts' writing constitutes a refreshing antidote to the modern ivory-tower academic approach to Mormon history, which too often feigns impartiality while betraying an underlying anti-Mormon bias, and even blaming the Mormons for their own difficulties. Not so with Roberts, who does not hesitate to call traitors traitors, dishonor dishonor, and courage courage. The Mormon expulsion from Illinois is not myth but reality, and Roberts' treatment of it is indignant yet measured. The very commentary that offends the academicians' sensibilities is what makes his writing memorable. To many Americans, the story of a religious group being expelled by mobocratic and military force from the country with the approbation of state and federal authorities is contradictory to assumed ideas of liberty, tolerance, and civil rights. Roberts' account is an eye-opener in this respect, as he details "the scene of a people in free America--the boasted asylum for the oppressed, where religious freedom is guaranteed by express constitutional provision--fleeing from the worst forms of oppresion..."; if it could happen then, why not now?The text reviews all the well-known events, but also includes sporadic character development and interesting notations, such as the observation that Stephen Markham's name seemed to inspire fear in anti-Mormon ears. Roberts' treatment of the Battle of Nauvoo is a notable portion that has received less attention in similar histories.While other Nauvoo histories are better documented and less partisan, this one will remain a classic for its direct and graphic detailing of religious persecution in America. For this reason alone it is a book that should be read twice--by both Mormon and non-Mormon Americans alike.

He was able to mix the good and the bad, the agony and the ecstasy of the history of Nauvoo: the City of Joseph.I think that Elder Roberts was born in the right time to write such a book. He knew many of the displaced citizens of Nauvoo, but he also knew that many of the rising generation needed to know about this great phase in the History of the Church of Jesus Christ.This book has the feel of Elder Roberts' "History of the Church," and "Comprehensive History of the Church." It has a strong reliance on Joseph Smith's journals and diaries, and other primary sources. Moreover, Elder Roberts was not afraid to cite critical sources-or even anti-Mormon sources in telling his story. He was very careful to avoid the sensational and untrue "faith promoting rumors" that fill our testimony meetings.The only criticism is that there are no illustrations, which is more a fault of technology than a bad judgment call. It was harder to print pictures in the 1900 than it is now.

This has detailed and deep personal accounts of LDS church history and the personalities and actions of its leaders and members of the time. This isn't through the cleansing filter of a historian, but of people that actually witnessed and experienced what happened. I posses the entire church history volumes, but consider this so much more informative, and that makes this easier to comprehend and relate to.Whereas a typical history reads like you are reading a history book of a people of the past, this makes you feel like you are reading a letter from someone that just went through it.
