Author lecture: 'Kingdom of Nauvoo: The Rise and Fall of a Religious Empire on the American Frontier'
Dr. Benjamin Park, professor at Sam Houston State University, will present a lecture sponsored by the Religious Studies Program. His just-published book, "Kingdom of Nauvoo," investigates the brief, tragic life of a lost Mormon city, demonstrating that the Latter-day Saints are essential to understanding American history. Using newly accessible sources, Park argues that far from being outsiders, the Mormons were representative of their era in their distrust of democracy and their attempt to forge a sovereign society of their own.
