I just finished listening to “I Witnessed the Carthage Massacre” by Ted Gibbons.  What a great book! I have been to Carthage, and I have tried to imagine the feelings of the prophet as he left his home in Nauvoo for the last time, but this book really brings it out!  It was sobering to hear about the martyrdom from the words of one who had been there.  It was very interesting and quite sad at the same time.  The story talks about the events leading up to the moments in Carthage jail, moves on to the martyrdom of the prophet and his brother, and then to a small amount of time afterward.  It kept me listening intently the whole time. 
 
I recommend the MP3 download, “I Witnessed the Carthage Massacre” by Ted Gibbons, to every Latter-day Saint!  It is a good history lesson that everyone should understand!
