Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 105: July, 1943

We learned from him (brannan) that the Pioneers had reached Salt Lake valley in safety, but his description of the valley and its facilities was anything but encouraging. Among other things, Brother Brannan said the Saints could not possibly subsist in the Great Salt Lake valley, as, according to the testimony of mountaineers, it froze there every month: in the year, and the ground was too dry to sprout seeds without irrigation, and if irrigated with the cold mountain stream, the seeds would be chilled and prevented from growing, or, if they did grow, they would be sickly and fail to mature. He considered it no place for an agricultural people, and expressed his confidence that the Saints would emigrate to California the next spring. On being asked if he had given his views to President Brigham Young, he answered that he had. On further inquiry as to how his views were received, he said, in substance, that the President laughed and made some rather' insignificant remark: but. Said Bran nan, when he has fairly tried it, he will find that I was right and he was wrong, and will come to California.

He thought all except those whose families were known to be at Salt Lake: had better turn back (to California) and labour until spring, when in all prob ability the Church would come to them; or, if not, they could take means to their families. We camped over night with) Brannan, and after he had left us: the following morning, Captain James Brown. Of the Pueblo detachment, which arrived.= in Salt Lake on the 27th of July. Came up with a small party. He brought a. Goodly number of letters from the families of the soldiers, also an epistle from the Twelve Apostles, advising those who had not means of subsistence to remain in California and labour, and bring their earnings with them in the spring.
