The Porter Rockwell Chronicles: Vol. 3

The final three years of life in Nauvoo are accurately detailed in Volume 3 - - gun battles with mobs, the murder of Rockwell's best friend, Joseph Smith, and his wife leaving him and remarrying, taking his beloved daughter Emily from him, which tears him apart. Porter must bid a heartbroken farewell as he and the Mormons are driven from Nauvoo and flee West. As chief scout and hunter, he will help his people survive, crossing the plains to the Great Salt Lake, where he can put his life back together and help fight off the lawless once again.
