Hi all,
I was wondering how people thought the Great Salt Lake would have been settled had Joseph Smith never existed.
What would have caused people to go there? What type of people would it have been?
What would the economy have been involved with?
When would it be settled and when would it get statehood?
How would these changes affect the settlement of the rest of the West and national politics?
Interested in any and all speculations!
Thanks,
Socrates
