“This Gadianton Did Prove the Overthrow”

Brant Gardner

Textual: The story of Gadianton has a temporary end at the end of the forty-second year, but the story is not over. Mormon is structuring this section of his account by years, and the ending of the year ends a part of the story. However, the characters from this band of Gadianton become important again, and Mormon foreshadows that importance even as he formally closes this chapter.
