Summary:
During the seven-year period of persecution and poverty, the Church builds its first temple, while many great leaders join the Church. A mob drags Joseph from his home and covers him with hot tar and feathers. These events lead to the organization of the Kirtland Safety Society, Zion's Camp, and the eventual withdrawal of the Saints from Ohio.
