SOME BACKGROUND REGARDING THIS WORK OF ART

When people think of the experience of the Latter-day Saint pioneers, often the stories that come to mind are those of hunger, deprivation, and suffering. This certainly and tragically was the case for some handcart companies. However, more often than not, the experience of the average traveler was quite different. There are many accounts of pioneers describing their journey as a great adventure as they saw new landscapes and wildlife. Other stories are lighthearted and full of hope and happiness as they embarked toward a new life in the West with the people of Zion.

Brigham Young led the Latter-day Saints from Nauvoo, Illinois, to the Rocky Mountains, where he was instrumental in settling not only Salt Lake City but also cities and towns in Utah and throughout the West. On July 24th 1847, Brigham Young, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, saw the wide Salt Lake Valley from his wagon and declared, “This is the right place. Drive on.” This Mormon Trail art is a depiction of those early Latter-day Saint Pioneers resetting along the Platte river in Nebraska.
