Gold was discovered in California by members of the Mormon Battalion. Winter Quarters was vacated and most of the Saints who had spent the winter there removed to Great Salt Lake Valley. About one thousand wagons arrived in the Valley during the year, with immigrating Saints. Ogden was founded by Capt. James Brown and others. Many extraordinary and miraculous cases of healing strengthened the faith of the Saints in the British Isles.
