[Brigham Young Sermon] Pres E[rastus] Snow made a good and sensible speech in behalf of the Pioneers of 47, showing that the Lord had guided his servant Brigham all the way across the trackless plains and deserts. Said that Pres Young told the Saints that as soon as he saw the place, he should know it. Said that at soon as Br Brigham entered the valley of Great Salt Lake he saw the sign from the Lord of Hosts, for Israel to stop. The tent that had appeared above them before, now came down and rested on the ground. -- Salt Lake City [Diary of Charles Lowell Walker. Andrew Karl Larson, ed. Logan: Utah State University Press, 1980. 412]
