Show It is good to celebrate Pioneer day. The miracles wrought in Utah since the coming of the first band do not in the least diminish their place in history, rather their memories take on more and more majestic ma-jestic proportions. They faced the wilderness, the desert, a poverty that was heart-breaking, privations priva-tions that were appalling, hardships that were hard to bear, yet they faltered not, but every day held a praise service and ploddingly, and apparently apparent-ly unconscious of the splendor of their work, laid the rude foundation of a state. Their coming was an epoch in Utah, the anniversaries of the day of their arrival cannot be too much celebrated. |
