“Thus He Did Do with the Riches Which He Obtained by the Taxation of His People”

W. Cleon Skousen

This second high tower which was built by king Noah on the hill right next to the narrow strip of wilderness was where the prophet Mosiah had assembled the righteous who were willing to flee from the apostate Nephites and travel northward with their flocks and possessions to a land which turned out to be the land of Zarahemla. It must have been a memorable day when the apostate Nephites of Lehi-Nephi awakened to find that Mosiah I and his huge body of people had completely disappeared.
