Nineteenth century
Dan Weggeland, (1827–1918)
The first pioneers left Nauvoo in February 1846 even before the temple was dedicated in April. The temple on the hill was the last thing they saw as they left Nauvoo and crossed the Mississippi River. This Norwegian artist created this image many years later after talking with people who had experienced the epic departure.
