Salt Lake to Southern California Road – Fort Utah

“came in sight of the grove in which is the Fort when the ‘old Pioneer Gun’ belched forth our introduction to the Fort – the brethren were collecting in their Cattle for the night when we arrived – on crossing the Island we saw some as beautiful as any in the Valley – we then crossed the ‘Provo’ a beautiful river about 5 rods wide & from 16 to 24 inches deep – on reaching the bank we were met by all the Inhabitants.”

-Thomas Bullock notes, September 15, 1849
