There's a larger than live statue of him in front of the courthouse. It isn't particularly about his Mormon connections; he was an important figure quite outside of Mormon history for his part in Missouri politics and also the Mexican American War. Doniphan County, Kansas, is named in his honor. Roger Launius, author of Joseph Smith III: Pragmatic Prophet, has written a good biography of Doniphan published by the University of Missouri Press.

Here are a few: Form early Mormon history: Col. Thomas Kane and Philip St. George Cooke. From modern Mormon history, Jan Shipps and Larry King. Agree? Disagree? Any others?

If not, there darn well ought to be. We should be very grateful for "Righteous Gentiles" of his caliber. Is there a significant memorial, marker or statue to Doniphan at any Church site?
