140 years ago today - Apr 25, 1877 (Morning)

Early on the morning of April 25th, 1877, President Brigham Young asked Brother Warren S. Snow to go with him to the Temple hill. Brother Snow says: We two were alone. President Young took me to the spot where the Temple was to stand; we went to the southeast corner, and President Young said: '"Here is the spot where the prophet Moroni stood and dedicated this piece of land for a Temple site, and that is the reason why the location is made here, and we can't move it from this spot; and if you and I are the only persons that come here at high noon today, we will dedicate this ground.'" -- Manti, Utah
