“Other publications have given a general overview or have stressed particular facets of [Joseph Smith’s] campaign [for president]; however, the purpose of this essay is to consider only one aspect of the activities of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles in New England. The Apostles actually concentrated their campaign efforts more in that region of the United States than in any other. In fact, the most significant political gathering for Joseph Smith outside of Nauvoo was held in New England.” (Taken from author's introduction)
