Excerpt from The Catholic Church in Utah: Including an Exposition of Catholic FaithThe title Of this volume sufficiently indicates its charac ter and its purport. This work, in all probability, would not have been written in our time if conditions and circumstances did not make for its production. The people at large in our southwestern regions know nothing Of the visit Of the Span ish priests to Utah Lake, even learned men, until now, have thought that Bonneville or Bridger first made known to the outside world the existence Of our inland salt sea.Though referred to by scholars and historians, and muti lated excerpts printed by Simpson in his Report, written in 1859, very few readers were aware Of the existence Of the Journal Of the Franciscan priests who entered our imme diate neighborhood one hundred and thirty-four years ago and preached Christianity to the Ute Indians.Though drawn upon liberally by Bancroft in his His tory Of Utah, and attention courteously attracted to it by Elliott Cones in On the Trail Of a Spanish Pioneer, the Diario or Journal Of Fathers Dominguez and de Esca lante is altogether unknown in our country, and is now, for the first time we believe, translated and given to the public in this history. If the Journal presents us with no fact Of importance, apart from the discovery Of Utah Lake and the existence Of the Great Salt Lake, it has nevertheless a merit peculiarly its own.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
