The Mormonite congregations in Missouri had been forcefully evacuated through murder, rage baiting, and violence. President Joseph Smith and Hyrum had made an assisted escape while on a transfer from Liberty Jail, Moving onto the newly named community of Nauvoo in the autumn of 1840 was an apprehensive excitement that just maybe there would be some stability in their family’s future. Street were plotted, property surveyed, homes were built…hundreds of them in a few short years. Community charters were drafted and approved, industry began to thrive, militias were organized to protect the city, laws were drafted, ordinances set, general conferences were held, the Nauvoo Legion grew to over 600 members by the spring of 1841, and temple construction began. Nauvoo was a great place for children to play, grow, and frolick amongst the new surroundings that felt stable & safe, for the moment. Immigrant converts began to flood into Nauvoo from the eastern United States and Europe.
In the spring 1842, former Governor Lilburn W. Boggs is shot in an assassination attempt that will be rumored and ultimately blamed on Joseph Smith’s destroying angel, Porter Rockwell. Even though Porter is acquitted, these trying circumstances will escalate and eventually drag the residents of Nauvoo into one of the most tumultuous times in Illinois history.
