This is a beautiful sculpture in the Winter Quarters Cemetery which is connected to the Temple Grounds. Over 600 Latter-Day Saints lost their lives during the course of that winter when they were forced to flee from Nauvoo and cross the Mississippi River into Iowa. And over the course of the next few months they made their way to Council Bluffs. When Pres. Hinckley came to view the property where this temple would be built, the saints were told that this ground would not have to be dedicated since it was already sacred ground. It is the only temple site ever that did not have to have the grounds dedicated.
