"Ever since Zion's Camp marched out of Kirtland in May 1834, its journey into Missouri has been one of Mormon history's more controversial events. The earliest history judged the camp "frought with delusion and nonsense." More recent scholarly assessments include "a total failure," "Joseph Smith's second major failure," and "a quixotic adventure." The complexities of Zion's Camp, however, do not admit simplistic evaluations; and in spite of numerous descriptions of the camp in print, the basic questions raised by the expedition still persist. In this article the primary documents bearing on Zion's Camp are reviewed in an attempt to evaluate it more accurately in the context of the political and social forces that brought it into and took it out of existence."
