About this listen
Picking up where Volume 3 left off in the summer of 1838, this book finds the Steeds, (all but daughter Melissa and her family) happily reunited in Far West, Missouri, only to be thrown into a maelstrom of intense and tragic events: the electionday battle at Gallatin; the siege of DeWitt; the Battle of Crooked River; the issuing of Governor Bogg's extermination order; the Haun's Mill massacre; the fall of Far West; the incarceration of the Prophet Joseph Smith; and the expulsion from Missouri. Characters whom audiences have come to know and love from previous volumes return here, including Joshua Steed, who, although reconciled to his family now, finds that his commission in the Missouri state militia forces him to be alighted with those opposing the Mormons.
Once again author Gerald Lund skillfully recreates dramatic scenes from Latterday Saint history, transporting listeners back in time to witness soul-stirring events and to meet unforgettable people. Fans of The Work and the Glory may well find that this new volume—with its powerful account of endurance and faith refined by the fires of affliction—is the most engaging and moving installment in the series so far.
