In Addition to the Documents Themselves, Introductory Essays, Annotation, and Most Ref- Erence Material Have Been Indexed. Most Index In addition to the documents themselves, introductory essays, annotation, and most ref- erence material have been indexed. Most maps are not indexed; map coordinates for specific locations are given in the Geographical Directory. Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization of quotations have been standardized. Personal names are listed by their correct spellings, not by variant spellings that may be found in the documents, unless the correct spelling is unknown. Entries for married women are generally listed under the names used during the period covered by the volume, with appropriate cross-references under maiden names or other married names. Unidentified individuals, such as “Mr. Devenport,” are included in this index. In subentry text, Joseph Smith (JS) and Emma Smith (ES) are referred to by their initials. Recurring locations in the volume are referenced in subentries without state identifi- cation; these include Commerce (Ill.), Nauvoo (Ill.), and Kirtland (Ohio). When found in an entry, “id.” indicates an entry in the Biographical Directory or Geo- graphical Directory or other text that summarizes the topic, “def.” refers to a passage that defines the topic, “illus.” indicates a photograph or other illustration, and “handwriting of” identifies documents that an individual inscribed.

  • The Current Restoration in Nauvoo, Illinois T
    THE CURRENT RESTORATION IN NAUVOO, ILLINOIS T. EDGAR L\JiN THE FOUNDING OF THE CITY Approximately 250 miles southwest of Chicago and 150 miles north of St. Louis lies Nauvoo, Illinois. At this place the Mississippi River rather abruptly pushes itself into Iowa and then returns again to its generally southward course. Within the arc thus formed by the westward protrusion of the river are more than a thousand acres of land, the southwestern por- tion of which is quite level. On this "Flat" stood the city of Nauvoo as it was originally surveyed. Because of the curve of the Mississippi here, old Nauvoo's Main Street was once described by Robert Ripley in one of his "Believe it or Not" features as the only straight Main Street in the world having the same river at both ends. The modern city of Nauvoo is located to the east, upon bluffs which rise nearly seventy feet above the old city. On this land,^ encircled by the river on three sides, the Sac and Fox In- dians established a large agricultural village in the days preceding the settle- ment of Illinois by white men. To this locality the Indians gave the name Quashquema, in honor of one of their chiefs. Following the designation of much of the land between the Illinois and the Mississippi Rivers as bounty lands for the veterans of the War of 1812, the Indians were moved westward into Iowa. (It was this expulsion of the Indians from their Illinois villages which led to the Black Hawk War in the 1830's.) White settlers then established homes and farms near Quashquema.

  • 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.

  • NAUVOO's TEMPLE It Was Announced August 31, 1840, That A
    NAUVOO’S TEMPLE Dean E. Garner—Institute Director, Denton, Texas t was announced August 31, 1840, that a temple would be built, and Iarchitectural plans began to come in. Joseph Smith “advertised for plans for the temple,” William Weeks said, “and several architects presented their plans. But none seemed to suit Smith. When [William] presented his plans, Joseph Smith grabbed him, hugged him and said, ‘You are the man I want.’”1 Thus William was made superintendent of temple construction. All his work was cleared by the temple building committee. Those on the committee were Reynolds Cahoon, Elias Higbee, and Alpheus Cutler.2 Joseph Smith had the final say pertaining to the details of the temple, for he had seen the temple in vision, which enabled him to make decisions on the temple’s appearance.3 During the October Conference of 1840, the building of the Nauvoo During the temple was voted on and accepted by the saints. The temple was to be October Conference constructed of stone. Many weeks preceding the conference, a survey of Nauvoo’s main street verified that the entire route was underlain with a of 1840, the building massive layer of limestone many feet thick, particularly so in the northern of the Nauvoo part of the community. That site was selected for the quarry, where quality white-gray Illinois limestone could be extracted for the construction of temple was voted the temple. The principal quarry from which the temple stone would on and accepted by come was opened within ten days of the conference. Work in the quarry began October 12, 1840, with Elisha Everett striking the first blow.4 the saints.

  • The Nauvoo House of God Vs. the Nauvoo Temple of God I Have Said Some Harsh Things About How I Feel About LDS Apologetics In
    The Nauvoo House of God vs. the Nauvoo Temple of God I have said some harsh things about how I feel about LDS Apologetics in general. Nevertheless, some of the apologists come up with some good stuff every once in a while. One of my favorite apologists is Gregory L Smith. I generally like the way he reasons and lays out an argument that he is defending. I feel that he writes with great clarity and is generally quite thorough in his research. Another thing I like about him is that he is willing to accept the more difficult assignments that bring the greater criticism from LDS readers. By that, I mean to say that he is willing not only to take on anti-Mormons, outside of the faith, he is also willing to take on liberal and conservative sub-cultures within Mormonism. This results in pockets of Latter day Saints that become angry with him and his apologetic papers. He doesn't seem to mind the criticism from fellow Mormons. He is willing to take one for the Gipper.1 One case in point is the article he wrote about John Dehlin and Mormon Stories which I blogged about. This has enraged many of the more liberal Mormons that are supportive of the work that John Dehlin is doing. Another example is his recent review of Denver Snuffer's PTHG. The review is titled, "Passing Up the Heavenly Gift" which has made lots of the ultraconservative fringe Mormons, that are followers of Snuffer, very angry. (Part one and part two) Avoiding Those Pesky Book of Mormon Prophecies Smith begins by shrewdly skirting the issue of the Book of Mormon prophecies in PTHG that foretell the apostasy of the Latter day Church.

  • Lumber for the Construction of the Temple and the Nauvoo House Was Cut and Rafted Down the Mississippi River from the Pine Forests in Wisconsin
    Lumber for the construction of the Temple and the Nauvoo House was cut and rafted down the Mississippi River from the pine forests in Wisconsin. The area around western Illinois had oak, maple and other hardwoods, which were fine for furniture, doors and moldings. However, straight-grained pine was needed for construction lumber. The nearest virgin pine forests were in Wisconsin and the Nauvoo House Association had purchased a lumbering establishment for twelve thousand dollars on the Black River some four hundred miles to the north of Nauvoo.13 The Association had a saw mill on site and some lumber was sawed, but much of the cut timber was assembled in rafts and floated down the Mississippi River where it was processed in Nauvoo. Timber was cut in the forest during the winter months when snow was on the ground and the ground was frozen, otherwise, it would have been impossible to skid the logs to the riverbank through the boggy ground. Bishop George Miller had been in charge of the pinery operation in the winter of 1842- 43 and on Friday May 12th had returned to Nauvoo with a raft of fifty thousand board feet of lumber for the Temple and Nauvoo House. 14 Now it was late July and time to designate a new group referred to as the Pine Company to go back to the pinery for the next season. The decision was made that Lyman Wight, as an officer in the Nauvoo House Association, would accompany Bishop George Miller, along with several other workers. Not only did the men accept this assignment, the entire family moved too.
