EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MORMON DISCOVERY, 1834" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon faith, along with a group of Mormons stumbling upon the remains of a Lamanite warrior during their journey through the wilderness in southern Illinois in 1834. The wood engraving, created by an anonymous American artist in 1853, beautifully captures this pivotal archaeological discovery. In the foreground, we see Joseph Smith and his fellow settlers standing around the skeletal remains of the Lamanite warrior. Their expressions are filled with awe and curiosity as they examine this ancient artifact. The scene is set amidst a rugged wilderness backdrop, emphasizing both the harshness and beauty of their surroundings. Oxen pull carts laden with supplies nearby while rifles lean against trees – reminders that these early pioneers faced numerous challenges on their quest for religious freedom. This image serves as a testament to both historical exploration and religious devotion. It highlights how early settlers like Joseph Smith were not only seeking new lands but also searching for spiritual connections to America's past. As we gaze upon this remarkable wood engraving from The Granger Collection's archives, we are transported back to that fateful day in 1834 when Joseph Smith and his group stumbled upon an important piece of Native American history - forever intertwining it with their own narrative as Mormons forging ahead into uncharted territories.
