A company of weary Mormon pioneers arrived at what is now Mesa, Ariz., on Feb. 14, 1878. Almost exactly 110 years later - on Feb. 13, 1988 - a monument in their honor was unveiled in a city park.
President Gordon B. Hinckley, first counselor in the First Presidency, addresses some 1,500 spectators at the ceremony. In the background is the monument.For more information on the ceremony and highlights of President Hinckley's address, see page 3.
