(Not sure, but that may be the most complete, and possibly the most tedious, church-work bio I’ve ever read!)

Hahaha!

Parshall Tue, 17 May 2011 16:25:08 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=7134#comment-64599 I’ve got a couple of other photos of the bare hill from different perspectives. I’ll post those in a day or two because they’ll reproduce better than I could do the one in this article.

Parshall Tue, 17 May 2011 14:57:48 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=7134#comment-64577 A little startling to see something so familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, isn’t it, MMM?

Steve knows I love the Beans. Willard, the “fighting parson,” was of course a brother to the daffy playwright Orestes Utah Bean. Willard, a professional boxer, went as a missionary with his family to live on the Smith family property in Palmyra, to farm it and make friends for the Church. They named a daughter born there “Palmyra Bean.” Willard reminds me in some ways of Jackie Robinson, in that he was the first of his people to enter that particular hostile world, and despite every sort of slander and insult, he eventually won their admiration through the force of his unwavering personal characteristics.

But I LOVE these pictures! The barren Hill Cumorah is remarkable.
