It has been described as "one of the finest expressions of human compassion in American history." In 1839, the Mormons were a people in flight, having been ordered out of the State of Missouri by the edict of the Governor. More than 7000 refugees fleeing in the dead of winter-and where could they go? Who would take them in? They came to the only arms open to them. The citizens of Quincy, Illinois opened their homes and hearts to a people in perilous straits-the Mormons. This is the story-seldom told-of one of the greatest rescues in 19th century American history.

Witnesses of Miracles and Mercies: 1838–1879 is a continuation of the first volume, telling more stories from the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Much has been written about many aspects of the history of the Church, and those stories are widely known. Much less known are the family and personal histories of members of the Church who were there when Church history was made. Generally, these are accounts of people not often mentioned in Church history, giving the reader fresh perspective from little-known sources. So much of that family history remains to be discovered and passed on. This book is that effort, and as such, it provides a glimpse behind the scenes.
