History of the Saints
- The Winter Exodus
May 14, 2012
The Latter-day Saints were driven out of Nauvoo, but they also left by willing choice. They understood that they had a new home somewhere beyond the Rocky Mountains. They left at different times and under different circumstances—some not so pleasant. This is the story of the Winter Exodus in February 1846. The episode features the scholarship of William Hartley, Richard Bennett, Don Colvin, Carol Madsen, and Susan Black.
From the same team who worked on the Joseph Smith Papers TV Series, comes History of the Saints, an ongoing documentary series focused on the epic history of the Latter-day Saints. The first season commences with the martyrdom of Joseph Smith, the Mormon Prophet, and follows the Saints across the plains to Utah. Subsequent seasons discuss expansion and colonization of the West, development of Utah and more.
Each episode features interviews with some of the most informed scholars presenting the latest in cutting-edge research and contains original signature music scored especially for that story. For those who want to learn about the history that comprises the unique culture and heritage of the Latter-day Saints, this program is a must.
