Excerpt from History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Vol. 7: Period II, From the Manuscript History of Brigham Young and Other Original Documents "All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an Ensign on the mountains, and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye." - (Isa. xviii:3) On the cover of each of the six preceding volumes of this series of the History of the Church, Period I, there has appeared in low relief an indent-gravure of some prominent place: the Hill Cumorah, the Kirtland Temple, the Liberty Prison, the Nauvoo Mansion, and the Carthage Jail, and for this Period II, volume VII, since it brings us in its action into Salt Lake valley, a Utah subject of first importance is selected, viz. "Mount Ensign". It is generally referred to as "Ensign Peak". Elder Woodruff, among those who first climbed the Mount, says in his Journal entry of that date - July 26, 1847: "We went on the top of a high peak in the edge of the mountain, which we considered a good place to raise an Ensign. So we named it 'Ensign Peak', or 'Hill'." Captain J. W. Gunnison, refers to it in his The Mormons, 1856, (pp. 33-4), as "Ensign Mound". President Young refers to the Mount as "Ensign Hill", on the occasion of recording the incident of Addison Pratt receiving his endowments on its summit, in October, 1849.
