Brigham Young Birthplace Marker

Am I the only one here who hadn't previously seen the Brigham Young birthplace marker, erected by Vermont locals in the early 1900s?

The BYU Religious Studies Archive has a photo of it.

And this pilgrim's photo is even clearer.

I'm not sure why the background differs between the two photos, perhaps because the monument was stolen in 1999, and may have been reinstalled at a different site than originally. In either case, it is quite real.

:P

Thanks, I'll pass on the word to the turn-of-the-twentieth-century Vermonters who built the monument.

My Webster's New World College Dictionary defines equipment (sense 4) as "one's abilities, knowledge, etc." I tend to think this was what was intended with the marker inscription.
