In April 1839, Joseph Smith and four others 'escaped' from the custody of armed guards who were assigned to transport them from Gallatin to Columbia, Missouri. They spent 10 days avoiding detection in a flight across northern Missouri enroute to Quincy, Illinois. Baugh details this episode and clarifies how this turn of events was accomplished. Although the Mormon prisoners could be viewed as fugitives from justice, he explains how 'the civil officials never had any intention to fully prosecute them.'
