Mormon History, Jul 24, 1847 (Afternoon)

[Brigham Young Sermon] We had a meeting with much good instruction. Brother Young said that we should find a place for a permanent location. We should then have our lands set off to us and each one manage his own affairs and work for themselves, etc. We had men out every day exploring the country and it found that there was a large amount of timber in the mountain, though mostly hard to get at. The timber was mostly pine and balsam with some oak and ash. -- Salt Lake City [Levi Jackman Journal]
