Show MANTI MESSENGER, Manti, Utah Thursday, March 27, 1975 Manti South ELAINE View from the Red Point (Editor s Note: View from the Red Point, a popularized account of the beginnings of Utah, by Albert Antrei, is being published serially in the Manti Messenger and Ephraim Enterprise. A significant historical document View from the Red Point is fascinating reading. Readers will likely want to clip each installment and combine them at the completion of publication into a complete narrative.) South-Centr- al Remembering Joseph Smiths ideas about what a town should look like, they had decided that the middle block of their town was to be the Temple Block, and that was where they intended to build their Temple. Of course, they didnt know just yet what Brother Kimball knew, and he wasnt scheduled through Brother Brigham to put them straight about that for a while. Brother Brigham came in August, says the Sanpete Stake Manuscript, but Sister Adelia said. No he didn't: he came in umrs EiPPEMG HIGHAM Telephone and boughs. i&fc, 835-44- Michael and Crystal Madsen and their three children of West Jordan have been here visiting with Ardith and Wesley Mogle, his parents.

It was in 50 that Taft run away, but fifty does not brine, and how was Azariah to know that within rhyme with six years poor Taft would be named a Patriarch? Seth was a practical man, and one of the main reasons he left was because the Settlement lost a total of 140 head of cattle that winter, including every one of his own. They went into the Spring with only 100, and Seth did not like the odds for the next winter. They had sharpened the horns of their cattle for protection against predatory animals, just in case. They also found a warm spring about a mile and a half from where they were encamped, and they had the larger boys drift the stock out there daily, where the snow was not so deep, and perhaps where the feed was a little green yet under the snow. They had done everything they could think of, and still they had lost all of those cattle. Whatever the climate, a lack of feed, disease, and the carnivores did not get, the hungry local Indians did, sometimes by direct attack and sometimes on demand. Meanwhile, as the winter spent itself they raised all the cabins they could from logs along the creek and from pine trees within four or five miles. They cut firewood, slashed dugouts into the side of that hilly spur for shelter, and those who did not have a dugout or a cabin by Sprint simply got along in wagonbeds or tents. The older girls helpeu their mothers, and those who knew their letters taught them to the smaller children, writing with carcoal on woodchips. Pencils and slates were scarcer than bread, which was scarce enough. From Azariah's poetical references to saleratus we know that they discovered that compound a mile or so west of the Settlement, and from that they were to concoct a kind of baking soda for biscuits. Out of saleratus also, in combination with wood ashes and animal fat, they manufactured the lye used in the making of soap. Hopes rose with the warmer, softer days of Spring, and they started to overlook much of the winter hardness. Children played their games on the hill, searching for ancient arrowheads and for little stones to use as "jacks. kept the smaller children amused from time to time, and the older ones played at something called and pomp. relative peace of Spring it occurred to Isaac Morley would have to be named. that this place, the Settlement, Being an avid reader of the Book of Mormon, Brother Isaacs fancy had been captured by some references to a Nephite soldier, a land, and a city all of the same name. He knew that the Prophet would be down to check upon things sometime during the summer, and he determined to speak to him about it then. While they were waiting they thought about laying out a town plan too. Moreover, they had looked into the rocks of the hill some of the brethren had burrowed in during the winter, and they decided that they had building rock available. Their Prophet and Revelator, Joseph Smith, had always talked about square blocks, each of them ten acres in size, set between d streets six to eight rods wide. Living among them was Brother Jesse W. Fox, who was a surveyor, among other things, and he had his tools all tucked neatly in his wagons, and they spoke to him about it. But there is no clear record of who actually did the surveying. Some said that Jesse did it in the Spring of 1850. The Sanpete Stake Manuscript History says that on August 5, 1850 President Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball selected the site for a and that Brother William M. at the Sanpete fort, city Lemon (another member of Brighams entourage) commenced surveying the same. The historian, H. H. Bancroft, gave it a twist, stating that In November (1850) the town (Manti) was laid out . . . (in) 110 blocks, each 26 rods square, with 8 lots per block . . . The site was surveyed by Jesse W. Fox, under Brighams direction. We turn once more to Sister Adelia Cox Sidwell. She was there watching Brother Jesse do it, and she said years later, just as certainly as Mr. Bancroft and the Sanpete Stake Manuscript: That Spring (1850) the town site was laid out by Jesse W. Fox.. That is all she has to say about it, and she does not even mention Brother William Lemon. You cant call a lady a liar, so as far as I am concerned I like to think that they said to Jesse one day in May or June 1850: Your transit and chain, Jesse, get em out, and lay us out a town that we can show to the Prophet when he comes this summer. Now likely hell bring Brother Lemon down with him, but you do a good job sos Brother William can just take a good rest after that long trip down. Well, I hope somebody said something like that to him anyway. Brother Jesse had been working on the Salt Lake survey came for him to join the with William Lemon when the Call Sanpete emigrants. Since he was a recognizeable surveyor, it is hard to believe that he was called to go to Sanpete for any other reason. Sure thing, Jesse could have said, and so he and a rodman and a chainman or two did just that! They laid it off neatly into those 110 blocks and some parcels along the edges. Brother Lemon simply wasnt there long enough to do all that work in that summer. That was a lot of hard work in 1850, stomping around in all that sagebrush and in and around some Indian wickiups with surveying equipment. I am not inclined for one minute to think that between May and November a good surveyor could look at all that unsurveyed ground and sleep well at night. Jesse was their first school teacher too, and they built him a log schoolhouse, about 20 feet wide by 25 feet long, that he could move his pupils into when school started September 1, and thats another reason I have for thinking that Jesse didnt do any surveying in November, as Mr. Bancroft states he did. They used that schoolhouse for their Church and temporal meetings too, but they only expected to use it for those purposes in cold weather. For their summer meetings they built a of posts with an overhead shade of leafy branches boughery In the right-angle- Whichever the month, it was on the 5th, and that was quite a day. George Peirce Billings, who had muscles where most men waste time looking for some, carried a small cannon they had up the hill east of the stone quarry , and the idea was to shoot it off in celebration of Brother Brigham and his party. George set it down and touched it off. and there were those afterwards who recollected it dug a trench in the sidehill when it recoiled, and that half of Sanpetes folks fled to Sev ier when they heard it. They said George was lucky to be to one side of it, for being directly in front of it would have been better than being right behind it. But that day got set off with the charge, and I hope it was July 5th, as that is pretty close to the Fourth. You can imagine that everybody was very excited, because while the Prophet was there Brother Isaac was going to ask him to christen them by that name he had found in the Book of Mormon. So far, they were a place. What has no name has no identity, and what has no identity has no genealogy, much less any right to a future, and they knew that that was too disorderly for the Prophet to allow to drift too long. He never let his people go too far alone before he was on their coattails, counting things g was one of them. and tidying things, and The name chosen was in the Book ofAlma, they were told, in case they didnt know, in about six chapters and about ten verses. With everybody listening Brother Brigham approved of Manti. (pronounced man ti) He told them the calling the place in the Book of Mormon was the site now Manti original in the State of occupied by a gentile town called Huntsville Missouri. Joseph Smith himself was quoted as the authority for that information. While he was at it, Brother Brigham also called the larger area Sanpete County, but he let its borders drift quite a little, not knowing where to stop, across the plateaus and down the valleys into the wide, blue, big western sky in four directions. Wherever the boundaries were in Brother Brighams mind, everybody understood on that that Manti was in the center of it all. Even that was not enough to explain to them why Brother Brigham wanted a town here, of all places, and there were still some who probably wondered (but not very loudly) whether Jake and Seth hadn't been right. Manti was laid out on an alluvium slope that was similar to a thousand other slopes of the Wasatch Plateau. It overlooked a sagebrush valley and a greasewood flat, and it sloped off fast into a swampy, alkali bottomland drained by a puny little desert stream that ran nowhere. Some town, some of them may have thought. What town? a few of them may have asked themselves under No-na- name-givin- their breaths. name of the place was a little unusual too, since it but then so many names wasnt related to anything in the Book of Mormon were unusual, to say nothing of It didnt have a bad ring to it, and when they started n to roll it around on their tongues they found out it wasnt hard to say either, not even for anybody from Kentucky. I dont know what Brother Brighams voice was like, but it would not surprise me to learn that it trumpeted, somewhat in the manner of Gabriels horn, because whenever he chose to he could hit a note and make the wilderness come tumbling down. Standing there in the white, hot sunlight Brother Brigham and when the echo died down somewhere Manti, approved over Mount Nebo some meadowlarks, I am told, were heard to warble over Jesses 110 empty blocks something that sounded Well. I cant suspiciously like, sing it like they can warble it, but even today the"meadowlarks around Manti will whistle that for you in the Spring, if you keep an open mind about it. Still, there was not really a town in 1850 . . Some would say. There's not much of one there yet. One thing is sure sagebrush began to diminish shortly thereafter. In 1850 nobody was precisely sure where Manti was located. In those days nobody was from Manti. Everybody there then was from Kentucky and Ohio and New England and perhaps even from Old England, but none of them were westerners, and none of them were from Manti. Brother Jesse could have told them, if hed had a mind to, that they were taking up residence at about 39 degrees north of the Equator and about 12 degrees west of the Greenwich Meridian, but not many of them ever gave much thought to the Equator, and only an Englishman knew where Greenwich was. Still, even that may have helped. Knowing they were at Manti" was more than they had known all winter, and even if they werent all that enchar'ed with the looks of the place they seem to have decided that since it couldn't be much worse, things had to get better from then on. In that Spring of 1850 they had other reasons to wonder about revelation. In late May, as the sun had begun to show off its blazing power in that high, dry air their hill suddenly came to life. Hundreds of rattlesnakes began to squirm and crawl out of holes and cracks in the oolite stone. Girls and women screamed and men and boys hollered for days to find the poisonous reptiles in their beds, under their furniture, and between boxes in their cabins, tents, and dugouts. One man killed over thirty of them in one day, and for a few weeks more and shovels were used whacking at snakes thanweie used digging irrigation ditches, and from some of the (.entile language that must have been used. Isaac Morley must have been as busy as the rest, because there were no courts instituted for blasphemy. Maybe Brother Isaac was hard of healing Eventually the hill was cleared of rattlesnakes, as about 500 of them were dispatched, and the rest crawled off into their haunts in the valley or farther up the hill. In the meanwhile, they had shaken Brother Brigham's folks up no little bit. and even their descendants talked about it for many years afterwaids. even unto this day. They told Brother Brigham about it when he came in the summer, and they could laugh a little about it then and marvel more seriously that nobody had been bitten To them that was a good omen, and maybe even a small miraile. Those snakes taxed the faith of no few of them. What kind of city could be located on a snake den? They may have asked each other that, but not Brother Brigham, for he had sent them here. They had a Sunday School song: Someday We'll nderstard. And they knew they would. Brigham himself attached no little of his attention on that oolite hill, but he was more interested in the hill itself, and he strolled along its slopes and crest. You could almost hear turn think, and you could almost see some kind of revelation getting ready to unfurl. But nobody talked about it. There were meetings that day in which problems of a practnal nature were discussed, such as land distribution and relations with the Indians. Later they sang and danced and seemed to foiget for a while their dead children, their lost animals, their hunger, their frostbite, and the rattlesnakes, to say nothing of the I tes and the Sandpitches in their midst.lt must have been a good fet ling to those homeless folk in that wilderness to feel that they had found a home they could name, even if it was a name that none of them could quite feel in their bones yet. They could feel real pleased with some things. Jo eel Shomaker had the only team of horses still strong enough to pull a plow, and between those two good animals they had managed to put in 250 acres of wheat and other grain against the next winter. A few gardens were growing - precariously, peilups, but growing nevertheless. Brother Heber Kimball suddenly added character to thou mil by predicting that a Temple would arise on it someday, and hey didnt do or say much more than to allow it was nice of him to say so. Eventually, Brother Brigham and his escort went away again, heading south, but he was to return from time to time alter that.
