I am still reading the Kingdom of Nauvoo, an excellent history of the period.
I did not realize how important Bennett was to Joseph Smith and his town of Nauvoo. He was the one who successfully obtained the City Charter from the State authorities in Springfield. while Joseph remained in Nauvoo.
His portrait in the book, in a military uniform is striking, as he was in real life.
He was also a scoundrel, as events soon revealed.
