THIS PROGRAM WAS PRINTED IN 1926 AND TELLS THE TALES OF NEPHI FOUNDERS.

Have you ever heard of Nephi, Utah and wonder where in Heavens name did that name come from? Well, there has been a truck load of people that call them selves "locals" who have no idea, so today, we will give a shorten version of its beginning. When the Utah Territory was invaded by the Mormons in 1847, it was technically owned by Mexico, but they gave it up when the US of A attempted a war with the Mexicans, who actually may have stole it from the Indians or "Ancient Ones", who may have taken it from somebody else. When the U.S. Calvary headed to California, they took the land without a shot fired. Now, the United States still takes land away, but they call it "Manifest Destiny". Anywho, area we called it Salt Creek, as we had a lot of salt mines in the canyon. Brigham Young thought it was more Mormon like to call it Nephi, a name of a leader of the white ancient ones, even before the Indians.

In 1926, while some of the Mormon settlers were still standing upright, so they held a Jubilee celebration, which we will call Part One. After a bathroom break, we will then present Part Two, which will show the people that put together the Juab County Fair of 1926, and if you have been around more than 50 years, you will recognize some of the Nephites of old.
