    Folk Ideas of Mormon Pioneers

    Folk Ideas of Mormon Pioneers Jessie L. Embry and William A. Wilson IN 1997 MORMONS CELEBRATED THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY of the arrival of Brigham Young and the first LDS company to the Great Salt Lake Valley. During the anniversary year, they frequently discussed the experiences of the pioneers. After all this reflection, what will they remember? Will they recall the faith-promoting stories they learned in Primary, Sunday school, seminary, and family home evening? Or will they struggle to find out what "really happened"—if that is ever possible—complete with all the warts? LDS members will probably do both. Some will heed the work of his- torians—lay and professional—who have examined the records and pub- lished books and articles attempting to explain "the facts." But others will continue to listen to and repeat the age-old stories. In all likelihood, the stories will be remembered longer. Why? Because they grow out of and support many Mormons' beliefs, their world view. This essay grows out of four observations we have made regarding the way Mormons tell the story of the gathering to Zion and keep it alive. 1. Much of what average Mormons know about the church's past was not learned from reading scholarly books. It comes from listening to stories at home and in a variety of church settings. 2. Most people, Mormons included, are motivated to action, not by what "really happened" in the past but by what they believe happened. 3. One of the best ways to understand what people believe is to ex- amine the stories they listen to and tell, their folklore.

Fremont (1843) was the first to map and describe the American west and systems of the Great Basin, making it much easier for people to move westward. • Brigham Young (1847) and an advance group of 148 pioneers decided this is “the right place.” In the Rotunda drum, eight murals depict important events in Utah’s history along with scenes of cultural and agricultural life and industrial development. 1. Brigham Young hiked to the top of Ensign Peak to map out the Salt Lake City settlement. 2. To deal with their new, dry climate, pioneers had to divert fresh water from local streams to use for crops through irrigation systems. 3. The “miracle of the Gulls” saved the wheat fields of the pioneers’ first harvest. 4. Conflicts between natives and Mormon Settlers lasted until a peace treaty was signed in 1852 5. Utah housed 20 out of the 190 stations on the short-lived Pony Express mail delivery. 6. General Patrick Connor inaugurated mining in Utah and established the original Fort Douglas. 7. With the hammering in of the golden spike, the transcontinental railroads met on Utah territory in 1869.

    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.
