Happy Fourth of July! Today I wanted to share a Fourth of July experience that Wilford Woodruff had in 1856. He wrote:

“There was quite a military display this day in the City of the Great Salt Lake during this day in celebration of the Anniversary of the American Independence. The firing of cannons, ringing of Bells, display of flags, an oration from Gov Young & toasts, were among the scenes of the day. A Ball in the social Hall & through the various wards during the evening was manifest.”

How are you celebrating the 4th of July today?
