Historical Background:
"...this church will fill North and South America...it will fill the world. It will fill the Rocky Mountains. There will be tens of thousands of Latter-day Saints who will be gathered in the Rocky Mountains and there they will open the door for the establishing of the Gospel among the Lamanites...This people will go into the Rocky Mountains; they will there build temples to the Most High."? Joseph Smith
26 April 1834, Kirtland, Ohio (Wilford Woodruff quote, Conference Report, 8 April 1898)
"I prophesied that the saints would continue to suffer much affliction and would be driven to the Rocky Mountains, many would apostatize, others would be put to death by our persecutors, or lose their lives in consequence of exposure or disease; and some of you will live to go and assist in making settlements and build cities and see the saints become a mighty people in the midst of the Rocky Mountains."? Joseph Smith
6 August 1842, Nauvoo, Illinois (CHC 2:181)
(NOTE: This is the painting (formerly exhibited at the Nauvoo Family Inn, Nauvoo, Illinois) that inspired President Gordon B. Hinckley to have the sculptor D. J.Bawden produce the life-sized+ bronze sculpture that now stands at the end of Parley's Street, Nauvoo, by the Mississippi River...placed there in 2006.)
