Fire and Sword
Author: Leland H. Gentry
Publisher: Greg Kofford Books
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 642
Book Description
Many Mormon dreams flourished in Missouri. So did many Mormon nightmares. The Missouri period--especially from the summer of 1838 when Joseph took over vigorous, personal direction of this new Zion until the spring of 1839 when he escaped after five months of imprisonment--represents a moment of intense crisis in Mormon history. Representing the greatest extremes of devotion and violence, commitment and intolerance, physical suffering and terror--mobbings, battles, massacres, and political “knockdowns”--it shadowed the Mormon psyche for a century. Leland Gentry was the first to step beyond this disturbing period as a one-sided symbol of religious persecution and move toward understanding it with careful documentation and evenhanded analysis. In Fire and Sword, Todd Compton collaborates with Gentry to update this foundational work with four decades of new scholarship, more insightful critical theory, and the wealth of resources that have become electronically available in the last few years. Compton gives full credit to Leland Gentry's extraordinary achievement, particularly in documenting the existence of Danites and in attempting to tell the Missourians’ side of the story; but he also goes far beyond it, gracefully drawing into the dialogue signal interpretations written since Gentry and introducing the raw urgency of personal writings, eyewitness journalists, and bemused politicians seesawing between human compassion and partisan harshness. In the lush Missouri landscape of the Mormon imagination where Adam and Eve had walked out of the garden and where Adam would return to preside over his posterity, the towering religious creativity of Joseph Smith and clash of religious stereotypes created a swift and traumatic frontier drama that changed the Church.

Book Description
John Topham Butler (1879-1940) was a son of James Butler and Charlotte Topham, born in Parowan and raised near Richfield, Utah. John was sent to scout out the Mormon colonies in Mexico, so his father and the family could decide whether to move there. His report was so favorable that the family immigrated to Colonia Juarez, Casas Grande County, Chihuahua a year or so before the end of the century. John married Susan Elizabeth Redd in 1902, and moved to Colonia Morelos in the northwest of the state of Sonora in Mexico. In 1906 they moved to Douglas, Arizona, and John was the branch president in 1912 during the Mormon exodus from the Mexican Revolution. Later John and his family moved to Lehi (near Mesa), Arizona. Descendants and relatives lived in Utah, Arizona, California, Oregon, Illinois, New York and elsewhere.
