"Once the Inland Sea was described as a sullen, listless, deadly sheet of water. Such it is not. On the contrary, however, one must receive with caution, the statements of later writers.

It lies nearly one mile above the sea, and the air is dry and invigorating, bringing color to the cheeks and making the blood tingle in the veins. The Great Salt Lake, the Mormon Temple and Tabernacle are the three American wonders, and are worth miles of travel to see and enjoy. A few days' stay in 'Zion,' the 'City of the Saints,' will repay any one for the time and money spent."

According to Saunders: “Though this was a publicity item Howells introduced it as a general trail guide, cautioning those who venture off-road to be well prepared. This map is actually not detailed enough to be much of a help to anyone intent on tracing the actual trails.”

Clearly the basis for the Utah Centennial trails map (1996) that was prepared by several members of the Utah Westerners. This is one of my personal favorite Morgan items. Very cool. Saunders 73.
