This is the place!!!

An imposing monument now stands on the place where Brigham Young, being incapacitated with rocky mountain spotted fever, on July 24th, 1847 proclaimed, "It is enough. This is the right place. Drive on." The words "this is the place" echoed through the company as the pioneers reached the Salt Lake Valley. Brigham Young had a vision shortly after the saints were exiled from Nauvoo, Illinois. In the vision, he saw the place where the Latter-day Saints would settle and "make the desert blossom like a rose" and where they would build their State of Deseret. The name Deseret was not deemed acceptable by the government and, following the failed petition the state was named Utah, which translates as "among the mountains".
