1847 1850 Brigham Days Followers Head Quarters Mormon Saints Salt Settlement Utah
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Salt Lake City in 1850, during its early days as the headquarters of the Latter Day Saints. Led by Brigham Young, Mormon followers had settled here in 1847, shaping the city's history and culture. The image provides a glimpse into the bustling young city, with its streets lined with modest buildings and horse-drawn carriages passing through.
The settlement appears to be a hive of activity, with people going about their daily routines and engaging in various tasks. The presence of Brigham Young himself can almost be felt in the air, as his leadership was instrumental in establishing Salt Lake City as a center for the Mormon community.
Utah's iconic Great Salt Lake is visible in the background, serving as a reminder of the natural beauty that surrounds this historical site. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history, when pioneers were forging new paths and building communities from scratch.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from circa 1850, we are transported back to a time when Salt Lake City was just beginning to take shape - a testament to the resilience and determination of those who called it home.
