Thomas Jeremy's arrival and settlement in the Great Salt Lake Valley

“By the goodness of my Heavenly Father toward me and my family, we arrived here, namely to the borders of the Valley, all healthy, on the 29th of October. ... We, the few Welsh who have come here, have chosen our arable land on the west side of the Jordan river, about five miles from the place where I live. Unusually abundant crops are raised here of wheat, barley, Indian corn, and oats, potatoes, squashes, watermelons, cabbages, and every kind of garden vegetables as big as you wish. ... As it grows the tillage spreads unusually well here, because of the fertility of the soil; and we acknowledge here the goodness and love of our heavenly Father as he blesses us temporally as well as spiritually. The holy prophets foresaw this valley, and spoke of it. See Isaiah xxxii, and from the 15th verse to the end of the chapter. — Udgorn Seion (Zion's Trumpet), October 1850 (English translation by Ronald D. Dennis)”
