This group, known as the Mississippi Saints and often forgotten by history, formed a community within the Church that made many contributions to the settlement of the West. On May 25 this year, members in Monroe County honored these early pioneers by dedicating a monument at Mormon Springs where many of the early Mississippi converts wsteveere baptized. r/Steven Mitchell -------------- Original message -------------- From: [email protected] > it's at: > http://heritage.uen.org/resources/Wcb8eb941dc3be.htm > r/Steven Mitchell > > -------------- Original message -------------- > From: > > > Somewhere embedded in the LDS website is a history of this group.
