“Mormon Refuse to Be a Commander and a Leader of This People”

Brant Gardner

Mormon’s leadership had resulted in repelling the Lamanite/Gadianton advance, largely by his astuteness in selecting and fortifying their defensive position. When the Nephites decided to ignore the key of their success, flaunting a prowess that Mormon does not believe they possess, he refuses to lead them in a course of action against his judgment.
