Today marks the 35th anniversary of the rescindment of the Extermination Order. On October 27, 1838, Missouri Governor Boggs put a Mormon Extermination Order into effect. It would take 138 years for that order to be rescinded by Governor Kit Bond. For more information on this event in history, check out these resources...
