Brigham Young Quietly Shaped Utah’s Desert City
Frederic J. Hale recounts Brigham Young guiding Utah’s settlement from a dry basin to a planned Salt Lake City. He notes irrigation by diverting streams, a fortified settlement, early schools, a Mormon university, a territorial library, and a theater as recreation. The city’s layout favors green lawns, poplars, and orderly blocks, with the temple and tabernacle centerpiece and a gold leaf Moroni statue guarding the hills.
