"Through the inspiration of the Lord, Joseph Smith restored some of Enoch's writings . . . Of particular significance was the successful establishment of the city of Zion by Enoch and the defining of Zion as a people of 'one heart and one mind, and who dwelt in righteousness, and had no poor among them' (Moses 7:18).
"Joseph Smith spent his entire life attempting to follow the counsel of the Lord in trying to establish a city of Zion and a Zion people . . . The Doctrine and Covenants is the handbook for the establishment of Zion. After the Church was organized, Joseph Smith the Prophet and some of the Elders journeyed from Kirtland, Ohio to Independence, Missouri and in July, 1831, were told: 'this is the land of promise, and the place for the city of Zion' . . . This book attempts again to review some of the historical details of this struggle of our early Saints to fulfill this revelation . . . The nearest attempt to build up a city like unto Zion during the Prophet Joseph's lifetime was the city of Nauvoo.
"Every prophet since Joseph has attempted to build up cities and a people of Zion . . . The author has attempted to review a few of the events that may point to the Future of Zion in the closing chapters of this book." -
