This statute in Nauvoo memorializes Joseph and Hyrum's Smith's departure from Nauvoo to Carthage on June 24, 1844. It stands in front of the Nauvoo Temple with the Mississippi River in the distance.

When some Jews left Jerusalem for Yemen

Link to The Virtual Jewish History Tour - Yemen Web site from a Mormanity commenter. Yemen is down there on the tip of the Arabian peninsula. You can look at 1 Nephi 16:13-14, 33-34, 17:1-6 to read the directions Lehi's group traveled, leaving them on the eastern side of the peninsula rather than in the Yemen area.

You can seem more of the pictures Hugh sent recently by selecting "Photos" above. These are at the Hill Cumorah. The angel Moroni is at the top looking down and Hugh is at the top looking at Moroni. Moroni gave Joseph Smith the gold plates used in translating the Book of Mormon, published in nearby Palmyra, New York in 1830.

Okay, who already knew about this November 27, 1839, episode involving Joseph Smith with a runaway stagecoach?
