It was a battle in which were included half a dozen bloody smaller battles, it was a battle where con- ditions were such that there was almost the closeness of conflicts in medieval times, and where regiments and brigades of raw recruits showed in desperate struggle with each other what American courage is.

  • Liberty Jail
    LIBERTY JAIL by Andrew Jenson The next thing of importance connecting Clay County with the history of the Church was the impris- onment of Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Sidney Rigdon, Lyman Wight, Alexander McRae and Caleb Baldwin in the Liberty jail from November, 1838 to April 1839. El- der Lyman O. Littlefield, who at that time was learning the trade of a printer in the town of Liberty, gives in this connection the following graphic description of his youthful experience, in his interesting little work “Rem- iniscences of Latter-day Saints,” just published in Logan, Cache County: “It must have been about the first of December when Church historian Andrew Jenson (on roof) visit- the prisoners assigned to the Liberty jail were conveyed ed the historic Liberty Jail on September 18, 1888. He to that place. was accompanied by Joseph S. Black (left) and Edward “It was the privilege of the writer—if it may be called Stevenson. Jenson recorded the dimensions and con- such—to witness their entrance into the place.

They were all in one large, heavy wagon with a high box, During this trip Jenson visited with James Ford, which, as they were seated, hid from view all of their age 72, who had been the deputy sheriff of Clay Coun- forms, except from a little below the shoulders.

    Madison Miller Biography Madison Miller was born on February 6, 1811, in Mercer, Pennsylvania. He served in the Mexican-American War, where he was captain of the 2nd Regiment of the Illinois Volunteer Infantry and was wounded at the Battle of Buena Vista. Following that, he was judge of El Dorado County, California, from 1851 to 1852. After returning to Missouri, Miller became successful in Missouri politics and business. He served as mayor of Carondelet, president of the St. Louis & Iron Mountain Railroad, and in 1860 was elected to the Missouri General Assembly. During the War At the beginning of the Civil War, Miller entered the United States Army as captain of the 1st Missouri Infantry, and later the 1st Missouri Light Artillery. In January 1862, he was promoted to colonel of the 18th Missouri Infantry. Miller commanded the 2nd Brigade of the 6th Division at Shiloh, where he was captured. He describes the experience in his diary: “The attack commencing on the right was an overwhelming force coming down upon us by a front and flank movement.... We were ordered by Gen. P. to fall back to a position where our might could be supported…. We found ourselves entirely surrounded and to prevent our utter annihilation Gen. Prentiss at 26 m after 5 O'clock P.M. displayed a white flag and what was left of us found ourselves prisoners of war. I offered my sword to Gen. Polk and to Gen Breckenridge both refused to take it. It was after taken by a Col. who resides at Nashville Tenn.” The next day Miller said, ‘Without anything to eat we marched eleven miles to Corinth.” Miller was eventually freed in a prisoner exchange, and in March 1865 he received the brevet of brigadier general for "gallant and meritorious services in the battle of Shiloh." Later Life Miller was elected to the Missouri State Senate in 1865, and starting in 1867 served as commissioner of the Missouri Railroad.

  • 13.1 Arrington
    Church Leaders in Liberty Jail BYU Studies copyright 1972 BYU Studies copyright 1972 Church Leaders in Liberty Jail Leonard J. Arrington The Experience When war between the Latter-day Saints and “the Missouri mob” seemed inevitable in October 1838, five Church officials approached the camp of General Samuel D. Lucas, commander of the Missouri Militia, under a flag of truce to negotiate a settlement. The five were Joseph Smith, President of the Church; Sidney Rigdon, member of the First Presidency; Parley P. Pratt, member of the Council of Twelve Apostles; and George W. Robinson, general Church recorder and clerk to the First Presidency. Gen- eral Lucas, instead of discussing the conflict, took the occasion to place the five leaders in jail.1 The next morning Hyrum Smith, brother of the Prophet, and Amasa Lyman, a member of the Council of Twelve, were imprisoned with them. The seven men were then sentenced by a secret court to death by a firing squad, but Alexander Doniphan, the militia officer charged with executing them, refused to do so and the prisoners were taken to Jackson County, Missouri, to await further orders. After four days in Independence the prisoners were then conducted to Richmond, Missouri, to await trial. At the end of the Court of Inquiry in Richmond in late November of 1838, Joseph Smith and five others were sent to the jail at Liberty, Missouri, to await further trial. The five with the Prophet were Sidney Rigdon; Lyman Wight; Hyrum Smith; Alexander McRae, a large thirty-one-year- old captain of the Missouri Militia who had been active in the defense of the Saints; and Caleb Baldwin, a veteran of the War of 1812, who at forty- seven was the oldest of the prisoners.

    John Bytheway: 00:00 We now continue with part two of Doctrine and Covenants, Section 63 with Dr. Lynne Wilson. Dr. Lynne Wilso...: 00:08 Verse 31, I counted up dozens of times where the lord commands his people, "I do not want you to kill. If you're shedding blood, that is Satan's plan, and that is not my way." In fact, in Section 98, there were 10 times, the lord says, "I don't want you to fight. I want you to proclaim peace." Then in Section 103, "We are a people of peace." In Section 105 and Section 57 and Section... Here it is beautifully in verse 31 of Section 63, "You are forbidden to shed blood." Dr. Lynne Wilso...: 00:40 The gift of life is the lord's to give and to the lord's to take away, and let us never interfere with either of those. I feel like the lord has already set them up, if they would have followed his counsel. When you talked about the land of Zion, do you remember back up in verse 24, he says, "Don't come too fast. I don't want any confusion. I don't want any pestilence, and we don't want to overwhelm the locals. Just do this in an orderly fashion." If we would have followed that one thing, it might've helped, and we, meaning, the bodies of the church. I don't know. Dr. Lynne Wilso...: 01:15 Then of course, as he comes down here, he's saying, when you're working with your neighbors, don't be angry with them.
