Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 30: April, 1927 The sea gull has become a sacred bird in Utah, owing to the miracle of their saving the crops of the early Pioneers, a story well known in all the land, and of which the monument in Salt Lake City, on the Temple grounds, is a memorial. No person can look upon that monument without being reminded of the earnest prayers of the Pioneers to God for their protection, and of the marvelous way in which the Lord sent an answer to their pleadings.
