"The City of the Mormons; or, Three Days at Nauvoo, in 1842" by Henry Caswall is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book provides a critical examination of the rise of Mormonism, particularly through the author's firsthand observations during his visit to Nauvoo, Illinois, a central hub for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Caswall aims to shed light on what he perceives as the misconceptions surrounding the Mormon faith and its leader, Joseph Smith, presenting a narrative that combines travelogue with a social critique of the Mormon community. At the start of the narrative, Caswall recounts his journey to Nauvoo, prompted by his observation of English emigrants heading there under the influence of Mormon missionaries. He describes the bustling activity at the St. Louis riverfront, meets anxious converts, and ultimately crosses the Mississippi River to Nauvoo. Once there, he witnesses a Mormon congregation during a service, observes the ongoing construction of the temple, and engages with various members of the community. Throughout his opening observations, he expresses a mix of intrigue and disdain for the practices he encounters, laying the groundwork for his exploration of the religious and societal implications of Mormonism.
