Book Description
Excerpt from Utah Gazatteer and Directory of Logan, Ogden, Provo and Salt Lake Cities, for 1884 Social questions have been avoided. Material and historical Utah have only been treated. The conviction is that, all circumstances considered, the progress made by Utah since 1847, is a marvel, an eternal monument that will ever point to the unyielding industry of its people and tell a story full of the efficacy of labor-and the certain reward of honest toil that can be pon de'red over with benefit to future as well as present generations. It is not held the work is without errors. Such a claim would be pre posterons. It is simply stated that in comparison with the endless subjects discussed and given, there are practically no errors; and that there are no errors whatever in spirit, no misrepresentations, and nothing as to material facts that existing intelligence and the knowledge now possessed could wish to be changed. The most notable errors discovered so far are corrected in the Errata. There will no doubt be mistakes as to names, and as to dates, and as to other things. It is impossible that such could be avoided, as many whose names are published have passed away, and those who furnished the information themselves were imperfectly informed and gave only the best knowledge at their command. If such a work is undertaken by another in later years, the basis here given will materially assist in securing better and more accurate information as regards the names of those associated with past events and the dates on which. These events transpired. I am under lasting obligation to President Wilford Woodruff, Mr. John Jaques, Col. 0. J. Hollister, Professor J. E. Clayton and Dr. Wm. Brede meyer and others - presidents of stakes and bishops - throughout the whole Territory, without whose valuable and timely assistance many subjects must have been omitted or imperfectly given. With whatever success this work may meet, much of that success will be due to their kindly and valuable assistance.
