Happy Pioneer Day!
(a State holiday in Utah)
Mormons establish Salt Lake City
7/24/1847
The great locomotive next season will come
To gather the Saints from their far-distant home
And bring them to Utah in peace here to stay
While the judgments of God sweep the wicked away.

AND ALSO:
Brigham Young! The western pioneer!
Brigham Young! He won a noble race.
Brigham Young! He made a broad statement
When he raised up on his elbow and said,
"This is the place!"
"Brigham Young," sung by "The Council Bluffers" & Mormon Songs
From the Rocky Mountains, Cheney, ed., [thanx Jim Partridge]
