(MORMONS.) Brown, Henry. The History of Illinois. Folding map, torn and mended with tape. 8vo, contemporary cloth, artlessly rebacked and corners reinforced with binder's cloth; foxing and browning throughout; early owner's signature of James H. Woodworth (mayor of Chicago, 1848-1850 and a U.S. Representative from Illinois, 1855-1857) on title page. New York, 1844
the first history of illinois, never reprinted, but this volume may be most noteworthy for its treatment of the Illinois Mormon settlement in Chapter 20, pages 386-403, and its appendix dealing with the death of Joseph Smith, pages 487-492. As the Mormons had arrived at Nauvoo only in 1840, this was more in the realm of current events than history. Brown adds in a note that he "had a little acquaintance with 'the prophet'" and offers impressions on his personality and manners. Flake 896, Howes B839, Sabin 8484.
