Book excerpt: Excerpt from Official Souvenir Guide to Salt Lake City Thus in the valley of the Great Salt Lake with the end ing of the long journey of Brigham Young's First Com pany, began far western civilization. Is it not a proud thing for Salt Lake to say that she was the genesis of that great movement?. And will it not stand ever to her credit and soften whatever may be laid up against her by those who have quarreled with her for religion's sake? To think of what the Rocky Mountain region was when Brigham Young began that memorable journey, is to think of great treeless plains grazed by millions of buffalo and almost unmarked by a white man's trail; of cloud-crested, snow-covered mountains through whose forbidding barriers few passes were known; of weary stretches of desert scorch ing in the sun and awful in their solitudes; of wild beasts and savage men in undisputed dominion - a wilderness so vast, so vague, so filled with nameless terrors that none but the most intrepid dare invade it. Time is fleeting and sixty years are few to measure the transformation of that region from what it then was, to what it is today.
