THE first European visitors to Utah were Captain Cardenas and his Spanish men-at-arms, who, in 1540, reached the San Juan country. The country of the Utes lay hidden amid the vast mountains until its lonely plateaus were traversed by the Franciscan friars searching for a route from Santa Fé to Monterey, California. In 1825 Great Salt Lake was discovered by James Bridger, a trapper. In 1826 J. S. Smith and fifteen trappers marched from Great Salt Lake to San Gabriel, California, and in 1841 Bartleson's party of emigrants, bound for California, crossed into Nevada, misled by mirages and Indian signal fires on the hills. Fremont's exploration followed, and caravans of emigrants began to move across, north of the lake, on their perilous way to California. In 1847, soon after their expulsion from Nauvoo, 12,000 Mormons camped on the site of Council Bluffs, and Brigham Young and 142 picked men marched westward to find a new home for their people beyond the United States. They settled on the site of Salt Lake City and built up a powerful community in this new Holy Land.
Utah came into our Republic with the great cession made by Mexico in 1848, and in 1850 was formed into a Territory, which then included, besides its present area, parts of Nevada, Colorado and Wyoming.
