Pg. 48 substantial brick school house was built in each ward. Pg. 49 East Canyon. About seven miles south of Porterville is the Old Pioneer Trail. About 18 miles of which is in Morgan County. Of the journey of the first company of pioneers through this section the following description is taken from Whitneys History of Utah: “Passing down the Weber River in Echo Canyon for about four miles they struck the Donner trail of the year previous, and proceeded toward East Canyon. They travelled six miles up a ravine to a dividing ridge, and then descended slowly into another ravine, where four hours were consumed in going two miles. At length they reached East Canyon. Up that difficult gorge they toiled for eight weary miles, crossing and recrossing its crooked torrent 13 times. Large grey wolves stared at them and rattlesnakes also appeared. Leaving East Canyon the “trail” turned up a ravine to the west and finally crossed Big Mountain. From the summit of this pass glimpses of the open country appeared. Two small sections of Salt Lke Valley became visible. Orson Pratt and John Benon
