Sacred Stone: Temple on the Mississippi
Directed by Lee B. GrobergIn 1846 the last of more than 12,000 Nauvoo, Illinois residents were forcibly driven from their homes to begin their journey west to the Salt Lake Valley, leaving behind the city they had built along with its stately temple. In 1848 the same forces that drove them out also destroyed the temple. More than 150 years later the Nauvoo Temple rises on the very footprint of its original.
