Northern Utah was in many ways a Crossroads long before the emigrants, settlers, railroad and military came here. As early as pre-Fremont Native Americans, we find evidence of trails and trade routes across this geographic area. The trappers and traders, both English and American, knew the area and crisscrossed it following many of the Native American trails. They also established new routes. Explorers sought additional routes to avoid natural barriers such as the mountains and the Great Salt Lake. As emigrants and settlers traveled west, knowledge of the area spread. The Crossroads designation was permanently established once the Railroad spanned the nation.

  • SEPTEMBER 2017 (Continued from Previous Page)
    13 9 number ISSUE 145 TABLE OF CONTENTS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE The National Society of the Sons of Utah Pioneers was incorporated in 1933 as a fraternity of men dedicated to honor and to preserve the principles and ideals for which the Pioneers stood. Their desire was not only to look back, but to live their lives as a basis for the future. Since the time of that organization the National Society has sought to make the benefits of membership operable in small units, which are designated as chapters. There are currently 46 active chapters. The first National Encampment was held August 10 -11, 1935 under the direction of Lawrence T. Epperson, the first National President. The idea of the annual “Encampment” took root and has served as a chief stabilizing factor to hold the organization together. Each year since then association chapters have gathered together in an encampment/convention to learn, associate, and celebrate the original pioneer trek from Nauvoo to the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. Up until about 10 years ago this gathering was known as the SUP encampment and then for some reason (I have not been able to find) the name was changed to be known as the “SUP convention”. (Continued On Following Page) 1 SEPTEMBER 2017 (Continued From Previous Page) After many months of discussion, The National Executive Council feels that we should move back to the original “Ideals and Purposes” of the Association, beginning with the yearly gathering. Our National Past President, Jim Hurst has put the idea most appropriately: CONVENTION OR ENCAMPMENT? “Our SUP Mission Statement emphasizes reminding ourselves and others of the values and attributes that our pioneer ancestors demonstrated.
