Essential for Ancestors of the 1830s Saints

After the early Latter-day Saints were driven from Missouri they were instructed by the Prophet Joseph Smith to prepare affidavits describing the property losses they had sustained and the abuses and atrocities they had suffered at the hands of lawless men there. Nearly seven hundred men and women accepted the Prophet’s charge and wrote almost eight hundred documents. This book is a complete collection of all known petitions, as contained in both the Historical Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City and the National Archives in Washington DC. I personally have nearly a dozen ancestors that were signers of the petition, so this book provides a great insight of the struggles my family faced as they defended their religious convictions and freedoms during the 1830s.
