How did they escape? CHAPTER XXIII. NAUVOO. From his prison in Missouri, Joseph had advised his brethren to buy land inthe state of Illinois and Iowa. Towards these states, therefore, the Saintshad fled, leaving merciless, blood-stained Missouri to the judgment of God. Twenty years afterwards when the great war broke out between the North andthe South, Missouri was one of the fiercest battle grounds, and its peoplesuffered terribly for the misery and bloodshed they had brought upon theSaints. T...he people of Illinois received the homeless Saints kindly, and sold themland upon which to live. At a small place called Commerce, situated on theeast bank of the Mississippi river, Joseph bought land, and there hedecided to locate the headquarters of the Church. The place was beautifullysituated in a bend of the river. Here a city was laid out and calledNauvoo, meaning beauty and rest, and Joseph invited the Saints to settleand build up the place. It was no small task to gather the scattered Saintsinto one body again, but early in the summer of 1839 a number of houseswere erected in the new city.
