Utah, called by the Mormons Deseret, is the name of a vast
territory in the Western part of North America, situated be-
tween Oregon, Nebraska, and California. A Settlement was
formed here in July 1847, by a Colony of Mormons from the
State of Illinois, under their leader and ' Prophet,' Brigham
Young, the immediate successor of Joseph Smith, the founder
of their Religious System. Having been driven out of Nauvoo,
they travelled westwards more than twelve hundred miles, and
taking refuge in Utah began to build a town, to which they
gave the name of Great Salt Lake City. It appears that they
carried with them the printing presses, &c. which they had
formerly employed at Nauvoo and other places in the United
States, and soon began to set them to work in their new abode.
