HISTORY OF HANCOCK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, 1880

Chapter VI, The Mormon Period, by Thomas Gregg

*The Nauvoo Christian Visitors Center is a ministry where information can be obtained about the Mormons from a Christian point of view. The ministry's staff also counsels Mormons who stop by. They have several very interesting exhibits. **The Warsaw Signal's office is now nonfunction though it contains several displays of antique printing equipment.

"If you will not stick by me, and wade to your knees in blood, for my sake, you may go to h--l and be d--d, and I will go and build another city! (Joseph Smith, page 319)."

"If any person will go to Warsaw boldy, in daylight, and break the press of the Signal office with a sledge hammer, I will bear him out in it, if it costs me a farm. He could only be taken with a warrant at any rate, and what good would that do? (Joseph Smith referring to his control over the Nauvoo court, page 319)."
