Hartley discusses the history of Kanesville, Iowa (now known as Council Bluffs) while it served as the headquarters of the Church in the United States, and as a jumping off point for emigrants bound for the west. He examines relations with Native Americans, the Kanesville Tabernacle, the organization of the First Presidency, Oliver Cowdery's return to the Church, other nearby settlements, organization of the Church in Kanesville, the Gold Rush, and the push in 1851 to have all members of the Church emigrate to Utah the following year. Finally, he states that some members became disaffected while staying in Iowa and some later became converts for the RLDS Church.
