Truman O. Angell (future architect of the Salt Lake Temple) creates a homemade press to print scrip bills(money) secured with gold dust deposited with Brigham Young. (Gold dust brought by Mormons arriving from Californiaâ€"ex-battalion members, and the Brooklyn saints who began arriving in the Salt Lake Valley in September and October 1848.) This locally-made ―money became known as Valley Notes.
