After the death of Joseph Smith the Prophet, the situation in Nauvoo was violent and chaotic. It was probably best reported by the book Kindom of Nauvoo, which relies on documents provided by the LDS church.
But there is another book, the Memoirs of Joseph Smith III, published by the RLDS church. Which gives the history from the RLDS perspective. The difference between the reporting on Emma Smith (Joseph Smith's wife) is striking.
She stayed in Nauvoo because, she owned most of it, and eventually died there, in poverty.
