The Mormon Battalion arrived in California, and the company of Pioneers, under the leadership of Pres. Brigham Young, crossed the plains and mountains to the valley of the Great Salt Lake, where they founded Great Salt Lake City. After the return to the Missouri river the First Presidency of the Church was reorganized. About two thousand souls and nearly six hundred wagons arrived in G. S. L. Valley in the fall.
