It has been more than 150 years since the Mormon pioneers Entered the Salt Lake Valley and proclaimed it their spiritual home. With the coming of the XIX Olympic Winter Games in 2002, Salt Lake City has again become, as author Dick Nourse writes, " a promised land of sorts that, through the years, has enabled successive generations to rediscover its beauty, its spacious grandeur, and it living spirit.
In his introduction to Salt Lake City: Welcoming the World, Nourse captures the heritage and excitement of this modern day promised land. He writes of the arrival of Brigham Young, who led a band of Mormons from Missouri to the Western desert in search of their Zion. Here, between the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake, they built a city- their magnificent Temple at its heart.
From its beginnings as a spiritual center to its present-day position as one of Fortune magazines "best cities in America for business," Salt Lake's many faces are all illuminated here. Aided by hundreds of outstanding images chosen by Franois Camoin from the collections of the area's leading photographers, Welcoming the World proclaims the many reasons this city is such a special place.
As Nourse concludes, " Like the early settlers who followed Brigham Young in search of paradise, today's newcomers and visitors- the throngs who travel here each year, and the immense crowds who will come to partake of the Winter Olympics- will find Salt Lake City to be everything they dream it to be."
