| Comment |
MARKER READ: From this point Brigham Young and the Mormon Pioneers caught their first glimpse of the valley of the Great Salt Lake July 23, 1847. Orson Pratt leading the vanguard of the pioneers had reached here July 19, 1847. He put up a guide board reading "eighty miles to Fort Bridger". The ill-fated Donner Party, first wagon train to use this route, crossed this divide about Aug. 23, 1846. Between that date and 1861 this trail was the route of many of the California gold seekers, the overland stage, the Mormon ox-team and handcart emigrants and the pony express. |
