Dramatic view of the skyline of Salt Lake City against the snowy Wasatch Mountains. Salt Lake City is the capital of Utah and the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormon Church. The city was founded in 1847 by Brigham Young, trying to build up a place for the followers of the LDS belief who were persecuted all over the mid-west of the United States.
Eventually, the Pony Express and later the first transcontinenal railway led to economic growth and wealth and the city was henceforth nicknamed "Crossroads of the West".
Thank you Judy Andreason for this fantastic postcard !!!
