Self-Destruction in Nauvoo

How many times has this happened in human history!

I am reading Kingdom of Nauvoo, about the events there in 1843. I recommend it to you.

This is four years of history on the American frontier, with the last year being the most eventful.

Joseph Smith and Abraham Lincoln were active at the same time and in the same place, but neither took the other seriously.

Lincoln's death was mourned by the whole country, but Smith was quickly buried in an unmarked grave.
