According to Wiki, "Captain Moroni is often erroneously confused with the Prophet Moroni, and so is indexed in the LDS edition of the Book of Mormon as Moroni1." Instead this Moroni is a warrior.

Thanks for the information. I had no idea that so much thought and work had gone into these illustrations. I have looked at them many times and find some new detail each time.

I agree it's always powerful to have a sense of the story behind a work of art, and not only does this story inspire (and answer) lots of questions it also shines a very important light on one of America's most important religious art innovators.
