Gardner Gard-ner of Lehi supervised , the 1 construction. con-struction. Much credit is due the good people of Fairfield for delivering deliver-ing rock, sand and all building materials free of charge, to the monument site. The work was done under the auspices of the Utah Trails and Landmarks association. It was dedicated August 24, 1939. John D. Giles of the general com mittee was in charge of the dedication. dedi-cation. The dedicatory prayer was offered by William Beardshall, whose father was one of the first settlers in Fairfield. Speakers were John D. Giles, Dr. William M. Stoo-key, Stoo-key, Joseph Wirthlin of the general gen-eral committee, and Howard R. Driggs, national representative of all Overland Trails and Pony Express Ex-press and stage coach routes in the United States. William Snyder and James H. Gardner were the local speakers. William Snyder is a son of one of the soldiers of Johnston's Army who was a member of the famous "crack" 10th Infantry Band which came to Utah with the army. He and Mr. McClain were the only two army men that remained in Fairfield Fair-field when the soldiers returned to the states in 1861. The size of the monument 'is four and one half by four and one half by 10 feet high, gradually tapering ta-pering at the top to two feet. It is located just south of the Fairfield hotel, on the south side of the county coun-ty road and facing north. It is placed at the southeast corner of the old fort, which was built by the citizens of Fairfield in 1866-67. The fort wall was four by four rods, ten feet high and three feet thick, as a protection from the Indians. On the monument from the top down is a bronze plaque picturing a pony express rider marking the trail through Fairfield. The trail itself is only about 100 feet from tha monument.

The old immigrant trail to California, known as the "Simpson Spring Route" pony express and stagecoach stage-coach route, and also the home of the Johnston Army. Not being allowed to locate within 40 miles of Salt Lake City, Johnston immediately im-mediately came to Cedar Valley in July 1858, with about 3000 men, 600 wagons, and about 6000 head of horses, mules and cattle. It Is located in Fairfield (which at that time was but a small settlement settle-ment of several hundred people), on the south side of the spring rim, the only water in the vicinity. The civilians took the north side, the little creek dividing them. , They immediately laid out a town about three miles long, bordering the water, which flows in a southeasterly direction. The parade grounds, shooting targets, barracks, guardhouse, guard-house, officers' homes, were located in the western part, Just opposite the spring. The main part of the camp, with their stock, was in the south and east. About 600 homes, built mostly of adobes, housed the soldiers. . It was a beautiful valley at that time, having no sage brush, no greasewood, just one whole valley with waving grass everywhere and the soldiers' stock had plenty of natural feeding during their stay in Utah. Fairfield immediately became a rustling business center and a town was built on the civilian side of the, stream and soon there was a solid block of stores, hotels, saloons and gambling houses and dance halls with all their accessories prevailed and flourished. Fairfield became knewn as the one lawless town of Utah. It was the third largest city in Utah, containing 7000 inhabitants. inhabi-tants.
