Joseph's Smith's gathering at the Mansion House in Nauvoo, Illinois on the last Christmas of his life is discussed.  I discuss my travels to that place, as well as to the jail at Carthage where Joseph, and his brother Hyrum were killed. Joseph Smith and Porter Rockwell and their final resting places are talked about in this special Christmas episode as well.

Special Bonus Episode! Joseph Smith’s Last Christmas

I'm Chad Mortenson, and in my spare time, I give tours at the Salt Lake Cemetery in Salt Lake City, UT. It is the largest municipal cemetery in the United States, and there are so many interesting characters buried there. So many great men and women who were doing the best with what God gave them in this life. Isn’t that what we all try to do? Come on this ride with me as we discuss the psychology, stories, motivations, and places that define the Saints as well as the Sinners who have shaped the macabre and the miraculous, the practical and the paranormal in the history of the West.
