17: Prisoners for Christ's Sake

As we discussed last time, Joseph Smith and others were taken prisoners in Far West on Oct 31 of 1838. A death sentence was passed on them, but were effectively saved from execution by Alexander Doniphan. While their lives were spared, they were incarcerated for the next five months. Why were they taken prisoners in the first place? What happened to Far West after the prisoners were taken? How did their trial in Richmond, Missouri go? Which three prisons were they incarcerated in? What were conditions like? What revelations were received in prison? Which apostle visited them in prison and picked Illinois as the next gathering place for the saints? What happened to General Clark (led atrocities in Far West) and Judge Austin King (sentenced Latter-day Saint leaders to prison) later in life? (Each was elected governor of Missouri.) Find out the answers to these questions and more on this episode!
