Book Review: Nightfall At Nauvoo
Summary: 4 Stars
As an amateur historian on religion and religious cults I found Taylor's treatment both informative and entertaining. My interest goes a little deeper since I live fairly close to Nauvoo and have visited the site often. My knowledge of the Mormon cult and its founder Joesph Smith was deepened by this book. I find it interesting that a religion with such a stormy and checkered beginning, with conflicting 'revelations,' bloody purges within its own membership, and a set of strange and secretive doctrines, could become so mainline. I am a firm believer in believing in whatever 'God' you want and in anything you want, as long as you don't hurt anyone, are honest about what you believe, and not pretend to be something you are not (i.e. Christian). Taylor's book (even as dated as it is and of course not the only treatment of this subject) opens the door on the Mormon past and its secrets, revealing much that would be kept hidden. I highly recommend it to all who are curious about the cult of the Church of the Latter Day Saints.
