The Pioneer Story/Trail Location/Salt Lake Valley |
 | | Yet within weeks of the arrival in the Salt Lake Valley, some were being dispatched to colonize the far reaches of that country, a move calculated by Brigham Young to ensure self-rule and freedom from oppression by establishing the first or at least the most prevalent presence in a vast territory. |
 | | Salt Lake City, Utah, has been called one of the Seven Sacred Cities of the World, and indeed, its history is unique in the story of America. |
 | | In viewing the city in all its external bearings and also the surrounding mountains, valleys, etc., I was agreeably disappointed in the pleasantness of the place, the number and quality of the houses, of the productions of the earth, wheat, corn, vegetables, etc. Industry had extended her hand, and Providence had rewarded the laborers toil. |
