Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Drumm´s Manual of Utah, and Souvenir of the First State Legislature, 1896: Containing the State Constitution, List of Members of the First Legislative Session of the State Members of Both Houses of the Legislature, Senate and House Committees and Employees, Territorial and State Officers, State Institutions and Boards of Governm In conformity with an act of congress aproved September 9, 1850, the Territory of Utah was organized. The Territory embraced within its area was bounded on the north by the Territory of Oregon, on the east by the summit of the Rocky mountains, on the south by the thirty-seventh parallel of north latitude, and on the west by California. But one of the original boundaries remain, that on the south. The boundaries of Utah are now as follows: Beginning at a point formed by the intersection of the thirty-second degree of longitude west from Washington with the thirty-seventh degree of north lititude; thence due west along said thirty-seventh degree of north latitude to the intersection of the same with the thirty-seventh degree of longitude west from Washington;thence due north along said thirty-seventh degree of west longitude to the intersection of the same with the forty-second degree of north latitude; thence due east along said forty-second degree of north latitude to the intersection of the same with the thirty-fourth degree of longitude west from Washington; thence due south along said thirty-fourth degree of west longitude to the intersection of the same with the forty-first degree of north latitude; thence due east along said forty-first degree of north latitude to the intersection of the same with the thirty-second degree of longitude west from Washington; thence due south along said thirty-second degree of west longitude to the place of beginning; an area of 82,190 square miles. (Bulletin Federal Census, 1890.) Topographically Utah is celebrated for its great mountain ranges and fertile valleys. The chains of mountains all extend north and south except the Uintah range, which lies east and west, and out of them all rise immense peaks to a height of 12,000 and 13,000 feet. The Great Salt Lake is another most notable feature. Its waters are impregnated with salt to a degree which renders it many times more dense than sea water. Prior to the advent of the pioneers, July 24, 1847, Utah had no population beyond a few traders, traopers, etc., except the Indians. It was on the date mentioned that the Mormon emigrants filed through "Emigration" canyon, in the Wasatch mountains, planted the American flag on Ensign peak, to the north of Salt Lake City, and founded the first permanent settlement.
