Nauvoo Neighbor
The Nauvoo Neighbor was a weekly
Mormon and its primary target audience was the Latter Day Saint residents of Nauvoo. When The Wasp
ceased publication in April 1843, the Neighbor replaced it as Nauvoo's premier secular newspaper.
The Neighbor reported on local, state, national, and international news and also commonly featured agricultural, commercial, scientific, and religious news as well as excerpts of literature. It, along with death of Joseph Smith was transmitted to the public.
The first edition of the Nauvoo Neighbor was dated March 3, 1843. The final edition was published on October 29, 1845. Publication ceased when the majority of Latter Day Saints, including Taylor, decided to leave Nauvoo and emigrate to the Salt Lake Valley under the direction of Brigham Young.
