mtncorg Says: You will not be able to use this to cross the Mississippi, but you will find replicas at the end of the Trail of Hope, which will demonstrate how wagons did get across in earlier times. The river is dammed at Keokuk – several miles downstream – so it is hard to imagine...
mtncorg Says: Signs for Joseph Smith Historic Center and Historic Nauvoo can be found in close proximity to one another. In this case, along Main Street in lower Nauvoo, they face off against each other across the street, a symbol of the 1846 schism still existing between those followers...
mtncorg Says: In Nauvoo, if you look close, you will notice as many license plates from outside Illinois as from the State itself. Very prevalent is Utah, as you might expect. Some of the local people are uneasy about Nauvoo’s future, afraid the Mormon influx with the Temple’s...
