CHAPTER XXII.
IN MISSOURI PRISONS.
From Far West Joseph and his brethren who had been taken prisoners were
marched towards Jackson county. At first General Wilson who had them in
charge treated the brethren badly, but as they proceeded on their journey
he became quite friendly, and told the prisoners that he was just going to
show the people of Independence what a "set of fine fellows you are."
While on the march the Lord comforted Joseph, and he spoke to the other
prisoners as follows: "Be of good cheer, brethren; the word of the Lord
came to me last night that our lives should be given us, and that whatever
we may suffer during this captivity, not one of our lives shall be taken.
