'During recent decades, historians have introduced new data, asked new questions, and reworked old understandings in their retelling of the familiar story of Nauvoo. My task in the discussion that follows is to examine those innovations. At times, I will illustrate influences and contrasts with references to the 'old' Nauvoo history as it was told between the dramatic dispersal of 1846 and the emergence of the New Mormon History in the mid-twentieth century.'
