This book plainly details the Saints’ settling the promised land of Zion, the reasons for the suspicions of their neighbors, the subsequent persecutions, and the exodus to Illinois. In Elder Roberts’ unique flowing style, he tells the story of:
- The search for Zion
- The mission to the Lamanites
- Discovering Adam-ondi-Ahman
- The Kirtland apostasy
- Zion’s Camp
- Expulsions: Independence to Clay County to Far West to Illinois
- Betrayal - Liberty Jail
- The Battle of Crooked River
- Haun’s Mill
- The Extermination Order
In Elder Roberts’ words: ‘The one thought above all other in my mind has been to present to the youth of the Latter-day Saints a circumstantial account of their fathers, that they might know how much was endured by their fathers for the truth’s sake; that they might learn to prize it for what it cost their fathers.’
