Abstract

After the Saints were forced out of Nauvoo, angry vandals, fearing the Saints would return, destroyed the magnificent temple left behind. The temple the mobsters destroyed took five years to build and every sacrifice imaginable for the Saints to complete. Since the temple does not exist today, a noble effort is being made to resurrect the structure using modern technology. My job was to acquire and transfer all necessary data to Andrew Teasdale, who would create a computer generated virtual reconstruction of the Nauvoo Temple.
