Tragedy at Winter Quarters
Pioneer Mormon Cemetery, Omaha, Nebraska
One of the most moving works of the sculptor Avard Fairbanks, the
Tragedy at Winter Quarters is located near Omaha, Nebraska at the
Pioneer Mormon Cemetary. This work depicts a pioneer father and
mother standing over the open grave of their child. Roughly six
thousand latter-day saints lost their lives while crossing the plains
between 1846 and 1849. Three of the ancestors of Avard Fairbanks
were buried at this cemetary. This monument stands as a memorial
to those who experienced the tragedy at Winter Quarters.
