Mormon History, Jul 4, 1845
A cannon explodes during and Independence Day celebration at LaHarpe, Illinois, maiming one man. Brigham Young's secretary confides that the cannon was sabotaged by a member of Council of Fifty. In Nauvoo the Nauvoo Legion marches in a parade along with the "Junior Legion" of some 250 boys who train every week during the summer of 1845; they march in white caps and pants trimmed in red.
