Zelphs Mound Reenactment, Hidden in the Heartland
This is portion of the pilot episode of Hidden in the Heartland showing the first ever depiction of the Zelph Mound story from Church history in which Joseph Smith and several men climbed a bluff while on Zion's camp and found a massive Native American burial mound. Joseph claimed to have "peculiar sensations" which caused him to ask for a shovel following which they dug down about a foot and found some bones. Joseph then had a revelation in which he saw that the skeleton they have found were from a warrior by the name of Zelph and that he had been killed by an arrow found among his ribs during one of the great struggles between the Lamanites and Nephites....in ILLINOIS!
