SynopsisStarting as the home of 2 military forts, this Mississippi River town grew into a thriving port town, only to be economically crushed by 3 key events as told in this fascinating yet easy to read book. Mormon history flows through Hancock County, Illinois, but very little is known of Warsaw, until now. Home of the key witness for the prosecution of those that murdered Joseph Smith, Warsaw as also home to 4 of the 5 who stood trial for that crime. Best known as the home of anti-Mormon newspaper editor Thomas Sharp, Warsaw was much more than the hotbed of ill Mormon feelings.
