Book Description
Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 41: February 1, 1906 These thoughts, with others of a kindred nature, passed through our minds as we walked among the trees, upon the ground strewn with dead leaves. Was there a doubt lurking in our hearts that the Father and Son had actually appeared to Joseph Smith? Not even the shadow of a doubt. The same God that spoke with him as one man speaketh with another, had spoken to the soul of everyone present, and the sure witness was within us that the testimony of Joseph Smith was a solemn truth. In calling the place a grove. We do not wish to convey the impression that it is only a little place with a small bunch of trees. Not so. It is several acres in ex tent, and contains a large number of trees, principally maple and birch. Many of the trees are beautiful specimens, and some of them no doubt were standing when the Prophet visited it.

With some trepidation he went down, and lost no time in opening the door to the tiny little man, dressed in green, who had nothing with him but a round, glistening piece of glass.

Book Description
Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 41: Organ of the Deseret Sunday School Union One day we went out of the city by the gate which opens into the country. There is a tower over this gate and a tablet with lettering which we could not make out, and a clock that affords an indifferent time. I might say New York time, for Cartagena is almost due south of New York City. Outside the gate, in the open field where the Spanish shot the patriot officers in 1815, there are sixteen busts erected on pedestals, in honor of those who died there. Beyond the field of the patriots is the suburb of Jimani, which is also protected on the land side by a wall. Then we cross an arm of the bay and leaving the city cemetery on our right, we turn to the left and climb the winding incline that leads up to the summit of Castle San Filipi. The hill is more than one hundred feet high, and the sloping walls of brick and stone have the appearance of being part of the hill itself. Hitherto we have viewed the old forts at a distance, now we stand on the battle ments, peep into the round guard towers, and enter the long passages that connected this fort with the city, more than a mile and a half away, and with the harbor forts over beyond the cemetery. Five old cannon only remain to tell the tale of the scenes that were once enacted there. Little is known of the history of those old wars. Cartagena was first taken by Baal, a French admiral, in 1544. Sir Francis Drake took it for England in 1585. That was a long time before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. The French again took it in 1697, and secured an immense amount of gold. The English under Vernon took the town in 1741, but could not take this castle, and were forced to leave the coast. Bolivar took the city in 1815, but it was retaken by the Spaniards after one hundred and sixteen days' siege. The walls still bear the scars of those old conflicts. In many places crevices can be seen made by cannon shot or bursting shells. Since the Spaniards were expelled in 1816, Cartagena has ceased to be of much importance to the world. The viceregal palaces are falling to decay. The numerous old cannon, some of which may have rode the ships that made up the Spanish Armada, have been taken from the walls and with their muzzles buried in the ground are now used for hitching posts at street corners. All of the old forts are abandoned; brush and weeds grow on the battlements, and the trailing vines hang from the parapets. Lizards and scorpions inhabit the guard towers in the day time, and at night bats flitter about and owls fill the air with doleful sounds. Everywhere is the same evidences of decay, and as you wander about you cannot but feel that you are walking in the shadow of the long ago. The Spanish power in the New World is gone, Spain as a world-power has fallen, and somehow we cannot but associate that torture rack and the gloomy dungeons in the city walls with the causes that led to her humiliation. As we returned to the city, a hearse drawn by two negroes came out of the gate and crossed the plaza toward the cemetery. A solitary mourner accompanied by a priest followed the hearse. At Jimani several women came out of houses and followed behind the lone mourner. Their cries were heart-rending and their grief pitiful to behold. We supposed their mother or father occupied a place in the hearse. At the harbor bridge they halted, their crying was hushed, their tears were stayed. The lone mourner approached and handed each one a penny, and they returned to their homes rejoicing at a service well performed, while he ploded on after the hearse.

Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 41: Organ of the Deseret Sunday School Union; March 15, 1906 I could not help thinking what a good mark it would make for snipers. I drew the blanket over my head and tried to sleep, but the engine gasped so breath lessly, as she struggled up the hill, and the load on which I lay jolted and swayed so sickeningly that I could not close my eyes. About four miles out from Honing Spruit the train drew up with a sudden jerk, almost throwing us from our precari ous perches.
