Thy Gold to Refine by Gerald N. Lund

3.0

The fictional Steed family parts are so cheesy and fake to me. I only keep reading this series because the history in it comes alive for me. I found such fascination with the background behind the extermination order (lies from both sides, and nobody double checking facts), the Haun's Mill Massacre (follow the prophet people!), the exodus out of Missouri, and what the mobs did while Joseph was in liberty jail.

Definitely a trying time for the saints, and this book made their sacrifice more meaningful to me.
