Yesterday’s
answer:
(D) To celebrate the 4th of July
From
the life of James Harvey Glines: He was
one of the number who brought a cannon that belonged to the “Carthage Greys” to
Nauvoo, to celebrate the 4th of July. There it was stolen and taken
across the river and subsequently sent to Council Bluffs. Elder Glines, as a
member of the Nauvoo Legion (in which he served as adjutant in a regiment), was
often on duty as guard during the troublous times of mobocracy. As an exile for
the sake of his religion he left Nauvoo in February, 1846, crossing the
Mississippi river on the ice, and made his way to Council Bluffs. He was
subsequently sent back to Nauvoo after goods, and on this return he brought
with him the cannon previously mentioned. Soon after his return to Council
Bluffs, he enlisted in the Mormon Battalion, being one of the first to enter
his name as a volunteer; he enlisted as sergeant-major in that battalion at its
organization.
