  • Seagull Monument Salt Lake City, Utah, USA the Seagull Monument Located on Temple Square, Is a Tribute to the History Behind the State Bird of Utah
    Seagull Monument Salt Lake City, Utah, USA The Seagull Monument located on Temple Square, is a tribute to the history behind the state bird of Utah. After the pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in the summer of 1847, the next win- ter was a mild one. The early settlers planted crops early and were looking forward to the harvest. However, after planting approximately 900 acres of wheat, a “great numbers of large, black crick- ets...came swarming from the foothills literally by millions.”1 Attempts to drown, burn, bury and club the infestation were unsuccessful. The Saints pled to the Lord to deliver them from the plague of crickets, which some likened unto Egypt’s curse of locusts. On June 9th, great fl ocks of seagulls from the Great Salt Lake descended upon the crickets and fed upon them for over three weeks, saving the crops. George W. Bean wrote: “They would come by thousands and gobble up those great fat crickets that were as large as man’s thumb, until they would get about a pint, seemingly, then they would adjourn to the water ditch, take a drink and throw up all their crickets – rest themselves a little, TheThe Seagull MonumentMonument then back to slaying the black ‘monsters’ again.”2 Photo courtesy of Derek J.

  • America File: Salt Lake City by Daniel Akst Travel Holiday December, 1995
    America File: Salt Lake City By Daniel Akst Travel Holiday December, 1995 When the International Olympic Committee finally decided in June to say "this is the right place" in connection with Salt Lake City and the 2002 winter games, it wasn't just echoing Brigham Young, who supposedly uttered those words when he and his Mormon followers, nearly 150 years ago, reached the magnificent void that is now the site of the city. The IOC was echoing a lot of other people as well. Once a sleepy outpost, the Salt Lake region now ranks among America's fastest growing, thanks to a splendid setting, a bevy of charming neighborhoods and a booming local economy, all of which have drawn newcomers in droves. In snatching the Olympics away from Oestersund, Sweden; Sion, Switzerland; and Quebec City, the other locales that vied for them, Salt Lake City saw a chance to finally put itself on the tourist map as well, and so went all out. Even before the IOC voted, the Utahns had five Olympic venues ready, with four more under construction. All are within 55 miles of downtown. Despite its growing prominence and sophistication, though, the city itself remains a town of modest size and friendly faces, one well worth visiting no matter what the season. Although Mormons account for only half its 166,000 residents--the mayor is a woman, a non-Mormon and a Democrat--Salt Lake retains many of its old-time Mormon virtues, standing out today as one of the safest, cleanest, and, I think, most beautiful of American cities.
