"Devery S. Anderson and Gary James Bergera, in this absorbing book, reveal a crucial chapter of the Mormon past which has been, for the most part, concealed from view. Their intensive and seemingly exhaustive research is revelatory, a veritable treasure trove of information respecting the activities of the endowment companies of the Nauvoo, Illinois, temple. Readers will find insightful commentary as well as chronological entries embodying every available primary source listing members of the endowment companies and related activities of the Nauvoo temple from December 11, 1845, to February 8, 1846. . . .Genealogists will find a wealth of demographic information in this book respecting family members who were officiators and/or participants in the Nauvoo endowments and other temple ordinances." (taken from foreword by Richard S. Van Wagoner)
