back Orrin Porter Rockwell
With only about three photographs extant of Great-Great-Uncle Porter, the former Visitors’ Center chose pretty well. Too bad they couldn’t get HIS name quite right, either! Zero for three, for our family on their wall. Think maybe they had it in for us?

Here’s Port’s rather unsatisfactory bronze portrait on the Monument.

Here’s his write-up in the Book of Uncles. And a whole lot more about Porter in his Nauvoo context.
