Edmund Ellsworth says "he heard Joseph Smith say in Nauvoo that the outsiders would not let the Saints stay there. Said they would remove to the Rocky Mountain . . . and they will finally cast us out from the United States. . . .We shall pass down through Mexico and back up through Texas to build up the center Stake of Zion [at Independence, Missouri]. He marked the profile of the journey in the sand. Bro. Averett [Everett] in speaking of the matter afterward said the route of the journey was shaped like a horseshoe. He having seen Joseph mark it out before." The published diary of Jesse N. Smith deletes this reference to Horse Shoe Prophecy.
