In 1853, the Iowa city of Keokuk on the western bank of the Mississippi River became the chief outfitting post for about 2,500 Mormon emigrants. The authors chronicle how the city was selected to be the outfitting post and the contributions the Mormons made financially and to the physical improvement of the small river town.
