David Wells Kilbourne, a leader of anti-Mormonism in Iowa, is profiled. He observed some of the Mormons as they arrived in Iowa as refugees from the Missouri fury in 1839. These Mormons had been victimized by unlawful land sales in Iowa. Kilbourne became angered over a land dispute and wrote several derogatory letters, some of which were published in a local newspaper. Three letters to Thomas Dent, of Clitheroe, England, are included in this article, expressing his opinions about the martrydom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith
