Journey To Saint George Cotton mission 1861
Artist  Michael Bedard Art copyrighted ©

This painting captures the beautiful, stark, wild and barren landscape of southern utah. Brigham Young, the prophet, called the pioneer saints to settle Saint George and the outlying areas. 

     Brigham knew the saints would soon be in short supply of cotton, due to the Civil War which began in 1861 between the North and the South. For this reason, he established the Cotton Mission of 1861 in Saint George, which  would become known as “Utah’s Dixie”
