GREAT SALT LAKE CITY An English artist's conception of Salt Lake City, Utah. The sketch was printed in The Mormons, pub- lished in London, in 1852, and was drawn from verbal descriptions of the city, the valley, the Wasatch moun- tains, and the majestic Cottonwood peaks

"O ye mountains high, where the clear blue sky Arches over the vales of the free, Where the pure breezes blow, and the clear streamlets flow, How I've longed to your bosom to flee. O Zion! dear Zion! land of the free, Now my own mountain home, unto thee I have come All my fond hopes are centered in thee."— Hymn, 317.
