CHAPTER XXVI.

THE BATTLE OF NAUVOO.


Leaving the main body of the Saints traveling westward, in this chapter I
wish to tell you about what happened to those who remained in Nauvoo; and
by the way, this is the last chapter of this little history in which mobs
will play an important part.

In the summer of 1846 there were about six hundred Saints in Nauvoo, most
of whom had been unable to get away. Many were poor, some were sick, and
there were many old people and children. Many non-"Mormons" had bought
property from the Saints who had left, and had moved into the city. The mob
called these friendly citizens "Jack Mormons."
