==First recorded visit by Latter Day Saints: The Zelph Mound==
In May and June 1834, Joseph Smith led a Latter Day Saint group of 150 men known as Zion's Camp on a march from Kirtland, Ohio, to Jackson County, Missouri.〔Joseph Smith History of the Church, Deseret Book Company, 1978, Vol. 2, pp. 79–80.〕 On June 3, while passing through west-central Illinois three miles east of Griggsville, Illinois, some men discovered a large burial mound on the west side of the Illinois River one mile south of present-day Valley city.〔LaMar C. Berrett, Keith W. Perkins & Donald Q. Cannon, Vol. 3 Sacred Places: Ohio and Illinois, Deseret Book Company, Salt Lake City, Utah, 2002, p. 228.〕
On the top of the mound were ...the remains of bones were strewn over the surface of the ground. The brethren procured a shovel and a hoe, and removing the earth to the depth of about one foot, discovered the skeleton of a man, almost entire, and between his ribs the stone point of a Lamanitish arrow, which evidently produced his death... The visions of the past being opened to my understanding by the Spirit of the Almighty, I discovered that the person whose skeleton lay before us was a white Lamanite, a large thick-set man, a white Lamanite, and a man of God...He was a warrior and chieftain under the great prophet Onandagus, who was known from the Hill Cumorah (County, New York ), or eastern sea to the Rocky Mountains...He was killed during the last great struggles of the Lamanites and Nephites".〔Joseph Smith History of the Church, Vol. 2 pp. 79–80.〕
The Book of Mormon identifies the last struggles or battles between the Nephites and the Lamanites as occurring between 375 A.D. and about 385 A.D. The leg bones of "Zelph" were carried in Wilford Woodruff's wagon and reburied near Liberty, Missouri, but the arrow head was retained.〔LaMar C. Berrett, p. 229.〕 The Zelph Mound incident was recorded by six men of Zion's Camp in their journals: Woodruff, Heber C. Kimball, Levi Hancock, George A. Smith, Moses Martin, and Reuben McBride.〔Kenneth W. Godfrey, The Zelph Story, Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies, Brigham Young University, BYU Studies, 1989, Provo, Utah, pp. 35–41.〕 The Zelph Mound incident was formally recorded in church history from available sources in 1842 by church historian, Willard Richards.〔Kenneth W. Godfrey, pp. 42–43.〕
