We beheld the statues, that were posed in dramatic fashion, pointing across the river (I guess, to emphasize the move westward). I don’t know who they were supposed to represent, Smiths, Young?

These guys?

No, they were in the river side park. Their pose was definitely more dramatic than your pic.

I’m going to guesstimate the statues to be about a 1/4 mile closer to the river than where the collection of old homes are located. They were dressed in their ‘sunday best’ it seemed, and one held a small telescope, while the other pointed across the Miss.River.

My wife just loves the old homes of the era, all the antique furnishings, etc. The fact that she didn’t want to do the tourist thing, and walk through them, was a clear sign to me of just how upset she was to the sad deception that took place there, and still does.

But sometime, Lord willing, I shall return to Nauvoo’s ‘Mars Hill’ and testify the truth to whoever I may.
