Legacy and Influence
Porter operated the Hot Springs Hotel and Brewery at the southern end of the Salt Lake Valley, in an area known as "Point of the Mountain." The former site of the hotel is now on the grounds of a state prison. A nearby stone marker commemorates the spot.
It was rumored that Rockwell had been a member of the same Masonic lodge in Nauvoo as had Smith and many of the early Mormon leaders. However, the only record of his having ever attended is that he was present for one meeting, and no records indicate his ever having been actually made a member.

“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”

“We should be blessed if we lived in the present always, and took advantage of every accident that befell us, like the grass which confesses the influence of the slightest dew that falls on it; and did not spend our time in atoning for the neglect of past opportunities, which we call doing our duty.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
