The Saints arrived by the ship Brooklyn July 31, 1846, a year before
the Saints arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. This group of Saints arrived in
California just three weeks after the United States flag had been raised over
the state, making them the first large group of people to enter the state of
California from the United States.
