Top row, L-R, are seen Brigham Young, Orson Pratt and Erastus Snow. The three women are Ellen Kimball, Harriet Young and Clarissa Young. Pratt and Snow became the first two members of Brigham Young's wagon train to enter the Salt Lake Valley when they arrived as scouts on July 21, 1847. The three women were the only three women in that first wagon train. The bottom photo shows a wagon train on the Mormon Trail near Mountain Dell during a re-enactment of the trek sometime around 1912. The photo is erroneously captioned as being from July 1847.
