"Never before has anyone viewed a picture showing the Prophet's Legion Sword. This is the first and was written by permission of the author's first cousin, a Noble, and great-grandson of Joseph Bates Noble. Joseph Bates Noble more than likely asked, "Why me Lord?" as he hid away the Prophet Joseph Smiths' Nauvoo Legion sword. A casket cane would soon be a stow-away and the two relics would start a long journey into time. This legion sword has been hidden away for 165 years and not to be on display. It has been handed down from father-to-son in the Noble family for a special purpose in giving testimony to Joseph Bates Noble, a defender and body guard to the prophet. Joseph Bates Noble served as a foot soldier in Zion's Camp, defended the church in Missouri, ranked as a Major in the Nauvoo Legion and a key figure along with his friend, Porter Rockwell, in rescuing the bodies of Hyrum and Joseph Smith. This books contains new details on the rescue. This fascinating book will tell you first hand about this remarkable man. He conducted the first plural marriage in the Church by marrying his sister-in-law, Louisa Beman, to the Prophet Joseph Smith. This is his story. " [Publisher's abstract]
