Alexander W. Doniphan
Continuing the story of "105 Counties, 105 Stories", we move from Brown County to Doniphan County. Doniphan County is named after the man pictured here, Colonel Alexander W. Doniphan (1808-1887). His work to save Joseph Smith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints left an enduring legacy of esteem by the Mormons. Plus, he has been honored with the naming of Camp Doniphan after him during World War I along with several other honors.
