From the lives of George Washington and Betsy
Elizabeth Kroll Bradley: It had all come
about at the last October Conference when Brigham Young had chosen fifty
families to settle Sanpete Valley under command of President Isaac Morley. About
thirty families and forty wagons left Salt Lake City on October 28, 1849. The
Bradley’s had a good span of strong mules and soon caught up with the company
which could not travel too fast, for many of the oxen and cows belonging to
these people were poor. The trip was also slowed down when bridges had to be
built over ravines, streams, and wash-outs.
Provo was just a small settlement then, but they spent
three days there resting their cattle, increasing their supplies, and providing
themselves with friendly Indian guides. Chief Walker himself headed this group,
for he was very friendly with the pioneers then and wanted them to settle on
his land. He even went so far as to deed it to President Brigham Young and the
Church.
