Last Ride to Carthage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780990638759)

The story of the Prophet's last journey to Carthage and the horse that carried him. A deeply moving ride through Mormon history. Tells the story of the martyrdom from the viewpoint of absolute innocence. One of the lowliest figures in Mormon history, the black stallion named Old Charlie was Joseph Smith's favorite riding horse. With Joseph and Emma from the early 1830's in Kirtland through the martyrdom in the Carthage Jail on June 27, 1844, Charlie was an eyewitness to early Church history. Last Ride to Carthage is an unforgettable ride through the backdrop of sweeping historical events.
