Gregg edited the Message from January 1843 to February 1844. It served as a temporary replacement for Thomas Sharp’s Warsaw Signal, which operated before and after the Message. Both Gregg and Sharp were critical of the Latter-day Saints and the growing economic and political power of Nauvoo. While Gregg favored lawful approaches to the perceived problem, Sharp advocated extralegal solutions.

When William Clayton arrived in Nauvoo on 25 June 1843 with news of JS’s arrest, approximately two hundred Nauvoo Legion soldiers organized into companies. According to Charlotte Haven, Hyrum Smith “warned them against excitement, told them to go peaceably, to take nothing but secret arms.” About half of the troops left that night on horseback to locate JS, and the remainder departed the following morning by steamboat. A few scouts intercepted JS’s traveling party on 27 June, while the remaining mounted troops joined the caravan over the next few days. Later reminiscences by members of the expedition confirm that JS enjoined the men to treat Wilson and Reynolds with respect.

In Reynolds’s 10 July 1843 account of JS’s arrest and subsequent legal struggles, he stated that after he and Wilson were arrested by Sheriff James Campbell on 24 June in the trespass suit, the two men “were disarmed by the Sheriff of all weapons, and they were not returned to us till after Smith’s discharge at Nauvoo.” (Joseph H. Reynolds, St. Louis, MO, 10 July 1843, Letter to the Editor, Old School Democrat and Saint Louis Herald, 10 July 1843, [2].)

Peter Cownover, one of the Nauvoo Legion soldiers who intercepted JS’s traveling party on 27 June 1843, later recounted that a dispute occurred the following day between the two lawmen and JS’s supporters over whether to continue to Quincy overland or to go by steamboat, after which Sheriff James Campbell confiscated Wilson’s and Reynolds’s guns.
