Saints Unscripted

The population of Nauvoo, Illinois is just over 1,000. So why are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as Mormons) so aware of and slightly obsessed with Nauvoo?    Nauvoo is an important part of the history of the Church of Jesus Christ. Shortly after the Church was organized, persecutions against the Church were rampant. Latter-day Saints (members of the Church) were forced out of their homes and ended up settling in Nauvoo. Nauvoo is where many important revelations occurred during the time of continued persecution. Eventually the saints were forced to flee once again and ended up settling in the western United States (with the Church headquartered in what is now Salt Lake City Utah).
