When Brigham Young organized and sent out his colonizers from the protecting hiSs of Salt Lake Valley, scouts advised him: "Do not send then to Beaver VaDey. It b too high. Nothing wul grow there.". The old settlers joke now. and say. "Not even the crickets wanted to stay." There b truth in the statement The year of 1855 had been a year of calamity and famine for the Mormon Pioneers.
