The article discusses the competition between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and its sister faith, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS) to establish the city of Nauvoo, Illinois as a representation of the beliefs of Mormonism. The author discusses doctrinal, historical, and legal conflicts emerging over the interpretation of the legacy of Latter Day Saint movement founder Joseph Smith. He notes that the presence of both LDS and RLDS Mormons in Nauvoo created some conflicts but eventually fostered compromise between the two faiths. Conflicts involving the relocation of the bodies of LDS leaders Joseph and Hyrum Smith and the building and restoration of the Nauvoo Temple are described.
