Who counseled the Mormons against settling in the Great Basin?
It was the trapper and trader Jim Bridger that advised Brigham Young against settling the Latter-day Saints in the Salt Lake Valley. Bridger had travelled extensively through that region and was of the opinion that the desert-like Great Basin could not be tamed. Young, however, had by this time seen his own vision of the area that Joseph Smith had once said would be the ultimate destination of the church. It is said that Bridger told Brigham that he would pay $1,000 for a bushel of corn raised in the Salt Lake valley. While the Saints were ultimately successful in employing irrigation techniques that they had observed elsewhere, it is doubtful that Brigham ever collected on this offer.
