6 comments | Read story
Thanks, for another good story.
These people settled at Bluff and struggled mightily for some time. Some wanted to leave because it was so hard. Then, Brigham Young's son, who was an apostle, came down to meet with them. He promised them that if they would continue to work and endure, they would be blessed and prosper. After than Bluff become just about the most prosperous place in the country for cattle and sheep ranching operations. The Saints endured and they were greatly blessed.
Today, Bluff has changed a lot. Many others have moved in and most of the original families have moved. It has become very run down and it is kind of sad. The big, beautiful old homes of the early days have fallen into disrepair. But, the Saints of earlier times who stayed and endured were greatly blessed and moved on to settle and develop the rest of San Juan County. They are nice little communities.
Although, it is remote and very rural, San Juan County is a wonderful place today.
My family are from Kanab,UT. They settled Kanab and made friends with many of the Indians. However, there's not too much there today---It's as well growing very slowly.
DN-This was an interesting and very nice article.
