The second volume in The Porter Rockwell Chronicles, Porter and the Mormons make the exodus to Nauvoo, Illinois, and built a city of striking beauty. In Nauvoo, Porter would experience first-hand heartache and exultation. His relationship with his wife would provide interesting trials, his closeness with his oldest daughter would solidify even more, and his friendship with Joseph would also grow stronger, all preparatory to the character development that would set him apart in later years as America's most mysterious gunfighter.
