I have always felt in my heart this scripture meant more than finding names and dates of our ancestors. It is the Lord wanting us, as children, to know our ancestors. As we do this we learn about ourselves, we find a love for a person we've never met, and we turn our hearts to our fathers. I have coupled the life of John Wood with history, because of my strong belief that psychological predisposition and environmental behavior impinge on an individual. I start my thesis by giving brief information on John's forefathers, then I discuss John Wood and the lives of those close to him, who were an influence in his life. Those who descend from John Wood will learn to love him as I have. The great man he was while he was on this earth. Though I have spent several years researching his life, there is much I will never know about him. Turning your hearts to your fathers is a continuous study, and as we document what we learn about our forefathers, and document our own lives, we also turn our hearts to our children. I would like to share a poem that expresses this well, titled The Dash, written by Linda Ellis. I read of a reverend who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning .. .to the end. He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time That she spent alive on earth... And now only those who loved her Know what that little line is worth. 1 For it matters not, how much we own; The cars.... The house... .the cash.

  • The Mormons Are Coming- the LDS Church's
    102 Mormon Historical Studies Nauvoo, Johann Schroder, oil on tin, 1859. Esplin: The Mormons are Coming 103 The Mormons Are Coming: The LDS Church’s Twentieth Century Return to Nauvoo Scott C. Esplin Traveling along Illinois’ scenic Highway 96, the modern visitor to Nauvoo steps back in time. Horse-drawn carriages pass a bustling blacksmith shop and brick furnace. Tourists stroll through manicured gardens, venturing into open doorways where missionary guides recreate life in a religious city on a bend in the Mississippi River during the mid-1840s. The picture is one of prosper- ity, presided over by a stately temple monument on a bluff overlooking the community. Within minutes, if they didn’t know it already, visitors to the area quickly learn about the Latter-day Saint founding of the City of Joseph. While portraying an image of peace, students of the history of Nauvoo know a different tale, however. Unlike other historically recreated villages across the country, this one has a dark past. For the most part, the homes, and most important the temple itself, did not peacefully pass from builder to pres- ent occupant, patiently awaiting renovation and restoration. Rather, they lay abandoned, persisting only in the memory of a people who left them in search of safety in a high mountain desert more than thirteen hundred miles away. Firmly established in the tops of the mountains, their posterity returned more than a century later to create a monument to their ancestral roots. Much of the present-day religious, political, economic, and social power of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints traces its roots to Nauvoo, Illinois.

  • “We Took Our Change of Venue to the State of Illinois”: the Gallatin Hearing and the Escape of Joseph Smith and the Mormon Prisoners from Missouri, April 1839
    Alexander L. Baugh: Escape of Joseph Smith from Missouri 59 “We Took Our Change of Venue to the State of Illinois”: The Gallatin Hearing and the Escape of Joseph Smith and the Mormon Prisoners from Missouri, April 1839 Alexander L. Baugh On 6 April 1839, Joseph Smith, his brother Hyrum, Caleb Baldwin, Alexander McRae, and Lyman Wight were taken from the jail in Liberty, Missouri, and placed in the custody of a strong guard assigned to transport them to Gallatin in Daviess County for what was expected to be a formal hearing on the charge of treason against the state. The Smiths and Wight had been in state custody for more than five months, Baldwin and McRae slightly less. For over four months, the five men had languished in the loath- some Liberty dungeon. However, unbeknown to them at the time, in less than three weeks, they would be free men and would be reunited with their families and friends in Illinois. The Gallatin hearing, the release of Joseph Smith and his companions, and their flight across northern Missouri com- prise one of the concluding chapters of the Mormon experience in Missouri. The Arrest and Incarceration of the Mormon Prisoners Following nearly three months of civil conflict between the Mormons and their Missouri neighbors, Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon, George W. Robinson, Lyman Wight, and Parley P. Pratt were arrested at Far West, Caldwell County, Missouri, on 31 October 1838. The following day, Hyrum Smith and Amasa Lyman were taken into custody. The arresting officers were actually part of the state militia called out by Missouri Governor Lilburn W.

  • Causes of the American Revolution
    Revolutionary War By: Kayden Hickle Table of Contents Chapter 1…. Overview Chapter 2…. Boston Tea Party Chapter 3…. Personal point of view Chapter 4…. Essay Overview Chapter 1 Do you know why the American Revolution War happened? The French and Indian War happened before American Revolution War. Britain lost a lot of money for the war and decided to tax the Colonists​ ( The Americans ) with Acts ,Tea Act, Sugar Act, Stamp Act, and Quartering Act. The colonists were mad about the Boston Massacre and decided to go on three tea carrying ships and crack open all the tea crates and dumped it all in the water. They did the Boston Tea Party dressed as Indians then that’s when all the ​Redcoats ​came and attacked the people. Paul Revere warned all the people that the “The British are coming-repeat” that was the Battle of Lexington and Concord. The British came and that is when it started. Boston Tea Party Chapter 2 Have you ever wondered why the Boston Tea Party ever happened? In 1773 the ​Colonists​ were taxed with Acts called Tea Tax, Sugar Acts, Stamp Acts, and the Quartering Acts because the British lost a lot of money ( pounds in the U.K.) from the French and Indian War. The Boston Massacre happened because the Colonists​ were still angry at ​King George III​ for taxing us. Many people died in The Boston Massacre. The Boston Tea Party occurred on 12/16/1773 ​Colonists​ were angry and we boarded the Beaver, Dartmouth, & Eleanor. The only ships that were at the Boston Harbor with tea crates and barrels.
