Description: Nauvoo Legion in Illinois : A History of the Mormon Militia, 1, Hardcover by Bennett, Richard E.; Black, Susan Easton; Cannon, Donald Q., ISBN 0870623826, ISBN-13 9780870623820, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Depending on your point of view, the Nauvoo Legion was either a militia that protected the Mormon city of Nauvoo or the military arm of a theocracy led by Joseph Smith. Using many newly discovered sources, this book lays out the history of the Legion between its founding in 1841 and the Mormons' decamping to Utah in 1846, examining the Legion's legal relationship to the State of Illinois and its use when mobilized. The authors suggest that the Legion acted largely within the established legal order in Illinois, and that there is no evidence that it increased Mormon militancy. Unlikely to settle historians' disagreements over the nature of the Nauvoo Legion, this book is nonetheless an important addition to scholarship on the early LDS church and on the use of militias on the American frontier.
