aBig Mort, a as he was known to his fellow mountain men in the mid 1830s, was an appropriate moniker for this 6'5," nearly 300-pound adventurer whose real name was Mordekiah Joshua Abram Liebovitch, a voluntarily displaced New York Jew who wandered into the Oregon Territories on a misbegotten trip to Chicago when he was just sixteen. It is now 1843 and he is returning to New York to, if possible, rejoin his familya!if they will have him. He stops along the banks of the Mississippi River at a town called Nauvoo, Illinois, to refresh and prepare for a reconciliation, but in Nauvoo he finds much more than he had ever bargained for, having been dropped unaware into a Mormon stronghold. What follows is a touching love story overflowing with joy and sadness, humor and tragedy, selflessness and greeda!every emotion that makes a reader thirst for more.
