2006, by Dean Gabbert and Marilyn S. Candido. 154 pages. Published by the Nauvoo Historical Society.
From the back cover: This lovely history of Nauvoo, inspired by the paintings of the artist and historical leader, Lane K. Newberry, offers a unique and fascinating view of the town’s heritage. Because of the brief and turbulent Mormon era, and the subsequent expansion of the faith and the recent creation of an 1840’s historic district, Nauvoo has become America’s most thoroughly studied frontier community. But this remarkable book reminds us that the town has had a rich and colorful history that extends to the present day — a history that includes several cultural groups, many churches, and some remarkable people.
