EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving from 1853 takes us back to the early 1840s in Nauvoo, Illinois. The image depicts an important moment in Mormon history - Joseph Smith reviewing the Nauvoo Legion, the militia unit at the Mormon settlement. In this scene, we see Joseph Smith on horseback, dressed in a uniform befitting his role as leader of the Mormons. He is surrounded by legionnaires, soldiers who were part of this unique militia group. The men stand tall with muskets and bayonets at their sides, ready to defend their community. Amidst this display of military strength and unity, one cannot help but notice a woman elegantly seated on her horse nearby. She sits side saddle, representing a traditional mode of riding for women during that era. The print captures not only the military aspect of life in Nauvoo but also hints at the social dynamics within this tight-knit community. It offers a glimpse into both the power structure led by Joseph Smith and the roles assigned to men and women within Mormon society. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time through artistry, it serves as a reminder of how communities come together during challenging times and how leaders rally their people for protection and progress.
