This is the second volume of the set to which "Joseph Smith's Quorum of the Anointed" also belongs. In similar fashion but with a much greater wealth of material – sometimes requiring 20 pages for the material from a single day – it covers the development of LDS temple ceremonies as they were actually performed at the Nauvoo LDS Temple, covering the entire period of its use. The records included here give information on every instance of every ceremony performed, down to washings and anointings, as well as birthdates for participants. In short, a gold mine for LDS genealogists, as well as people simply interested in the development of LDS temple ceremonies. Some of the portions are mainly just lists of names (sometimes with other information attached), so those bits can be a bit tedious; but other portions include narratives and discourses, which can be historically and religiously interesting.

For the two months the Nauvoo temple was in operation (December 1845-February 1846), scribes carefully documented all activities and events taking place inside, including lectures on the endowment ceremony drama and sealing rituals. Their narratives begin with the lighting of fires and hauling of water each morning at 3:00 a.m. (many ordinance workers slept overnight in the temple) to late-night celebratory dancing ( We danced unto the Lord, Brigham Young explained) and Sunday sermons delivered to the recently endowed.Historians, biographers, and genealogists will find the names and dates of the initiates and documentation of sealings (including polygamous unions) to be of significance. Others will turn to the narrative portions of the records, including first-person accounts and minutes of meetings. For instance, as women cleaned the ceremonial robes for the next day s endowment companies (or sessions), church officials would read from John C. Fremont s published journal, anticipating their imminent exodus from Nauvoo for the Great Basin.The sources extracted in this companion volume to"Joseph Smith s Quorum of the Anointed"and"The Development of LDS Temple Worship, "include original temple ledger books and summaries of data compiled by early church scribes, including the Book of Anointings; Book of Adoptions; Book of Proxey sic]; General Record of the Seventies, Book B; and William Clayton s diary kept for Heber C.
