The Road to Carthage: Conspiracy and Betrayal

With perceptive historical insight, this penetrating study of old Nauvoo takes the reader behind the scenes and into the minds of the men who plotted the death of Joseph Smith. This carefully researched book casts a spotlight on Governor Ford, the apostates, and the anti-Mormons whose hatred and treachery placed Joseph on the road to Carthage and brought him at last "like a lamb to the slaughter" and to his martyrdom in the jail at Carthage, Illinois.
