Continued from a previous article 'Memoir of William T. Brooking of Macomb, Illinois,' covering 1844-54, detailing his participation in the Mormon War, his marriage, and his love for hunting. Part I contains no mention of the Mormons, while Part II (the current selection) contains brief mention of the martyrdom of Joseph Smith from Brooking's viewpoint in the local militia (non-member). The account is not very substantive, with the only reference being on pages 136-7 and notes 1-4.
