A few months after the Mormon residents of Jackson County, Missouri, were prevented from creating a religious community called Zion, an expeditionary force marched from Kirtland, Ohio, to aid them in regaining their lands. 'Zion's Camp' became a controversial topic in Mormon history. This is an account of the expedition. Although the expedition aided the Mormons in Missouri, convinced them that the church was interested in their welfare, healed a breach between the elders in Zion and the leaders in Kirtland, and brought forward a number of men who were to be active in Utah, it antagonized a number of Missourians who had been friendly to the Mormons and strengthened the case of those who argued that the Mormons planned to use military force to build a community in Missouri. Based on articles, newspapers; biographies and autobiographies.
