the immigrant Mormons before they

terrors hid shaken the hearts of the
stoutest among them There was not
one who did not sink upon his knees in
heartfelt prayer when they saw the
broad valley of Utah bathed in the
sunlight beneath them, and learned
from the lips of their leader that this
was the promised land. and that these
virgin acres were to be theirs forever
more.
Young speedily proved himself to be
q skillful administrator as well as q
