Summary

October 11-17

I stand in Far West, a rather obscure place in northern Missouri, and as far as I can see, where once there was a bustling community of Latter-day Saints with homes, shops and a school, there are only empty fields. What happened to the people who once were here and why is only silence left behind? How could it possibly be that a sitting governor could order an extermination order on a group of people? Here in America? Unthinkable. It’s a human, heart-breaking story that gives us context for this episode.

2:06.8	2022. When the letter day Saints were driven from Independence, Missouri at the end of 1833,
2:14.4	they found temporary shelter in Clay County. Though the citizens of Clay County were at first
2:19.9	hospitable and kind to the Saints, it was not long before they began to feel that these spiritual
2:25.4	refugees needed to find homes and work elsewhere. Citizens met in Clay, Ray, Clinton, and other
