Brigham the Prophet and Utah Statehood Talk
An interview with President Young portrays Utah as a thriving territory with 150 000 residents and 80 incorporated cities. He argues statehood would enable moral reforms, control of gambling and liquor, and Salt Lake City as a Zion city, citing railroads telegraphs and large cooperative stores. The piece also recalls a 1859 military expedition under General Harney and notes government actions and wartime profiteering. Additionally, General Order No 15 honors the Fourth Cavalry and Colonel Mackenzie for gallantry during the Sioux campaign.
