civil engineer. This was in 1859.
He went first to Georgia to assist
in locating railroad. In 1851 he was
back IN Pittsburg soliciting d place In

The national guard armory in Salt

their thought ran back Of the dates or

uent forward will come from points
outside OF Utah and the west.

soon own the east" was the way u
,acetious New Yorker described the
possibilities Of the movement. Nowhere
IN the convention was there present
