Statue, Nauvoo Temple and Carthage Jail

This is one of our all time favorite statues. It is of Joseph and Hyrum Smith overlooking the city of Nauvoo,in front of the temple they were working to complete. As Joseph and Hyrum headed to Carthage Jail, where they knew they would be murdered by angry mobs, they must have stopped for one last look of the city they had built, and the people they loved.
