At midnight on January 13, 1838, Joseph Smith rode out of Kirtland, Ohio, pursued by armed men. The horse the Prophet rode was his favorite—a twelve-year old black stallion called Old Charlie. Neither Joseph nor Charlie would ever see Kirtland again. Over the coming months they would travel eight hundred miles with the Prophet’s family through snow and bitter cold, and finally across the frozen Mississippi River, to a new home in the place called Far West. One of the lowliest figures in Mormon history, Old Charlie was an eyewitness to most of the pivotal events in early Church history. The new historical novel Night Ride from Kirtland is an unforgettable journey through Church history. WHAT READERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE SERIES, OLD CHARLIE AND THE PROPHET “The idea of the unfolding story from such a singular perspective is simply genius.” “It captured my imagination from the beginning.” “The words take you through Mormon history in a way history books cannot.” “Incredibly moving.” “Imaginative—heartwarming—heartbreaking.” PRAISE FOR DANIEL BAY GIBBONS “. . . destined to be a great, if not the great writer of the restoration.”  G.G. Vandagriff, Whitney-award winning author of The Last Waltz
