Last Post!!

Well thank God this is the last post. This statue is right behind the music building. I've walked by it many times but I never thought to read the story on it's base until today. It tells the story of a pioneer girl named Nellie. Both of her parents died on the way across the country to Utah. Then she had to have both of her feet removed with a saw and a butcher's knife because they were frozen. Later in life she married into a plural family and gave birth to six children.

Naturally, after reading this I thought, "Holy crap, she definitely earned that statue. Kudos to the pioneers."
