Synopsis

Excerpt from The Mountain Empire Utah: A Brief and Reasonably Authentic Presentation of the Material Conditions of a State That Lies in the Heart of the Mountains of the West Containing Pacts and Figures Prom Authentic Sources and Having Special Reference to Its Fitness and Advantage for Tho The sappers and miners who go out to storm the fastnesses of the wilderness, who set up the signal stations and blaze the trails, that later civilization may follow and light the darkness with its smiles, are called "Pioneers." Through the ages their work has been the most important performed by men and women; the most important but least appreciated by the great thoughtless world: though at intervals, as when Aeneas, with his few followers, took his little company to Italy, or when Xenophon led his heroes on the long march from the valley of the Tigris, across the wilds of Kurdestan and over the rough highlands of Armenia and Georgia, to the shores of the Euxine; or when the Pilgrim Fathers, in their little ship, faced a winters Atlantic voyage, and then, on landing, had the faith and strength to kneel on the frozen coast and offer a praise service to the Infinite for His mercies, the world has been touched and thrilled at the spectacle, and the story continues to ring out on succeeding centuries like a psalm.
