Excerpt from The Development of Institutions Under Irrigation
The Mormons entered the Great Salt Lake Valley July 21, 1847. Little was then known of the Great West, its possibilities or problems. The Mormon pioneers, except in so far as they had read the reports of trappers, hunters and explorers, knew no more about the West or its problems than did their fellow country men. Unyielding as many of these problems were, they were to be grappled and solved in a typical American fashion by the new settlers who were mentally, physi cally and intellectually well prepared through experience for the task. The solutions were undertaken by them in the same orderly fashion that had characterized their ancestors in the solving of New World problems from the days of Jamestown and Plymouth.
