Yesterday’s
answer:
(A)
A Babylon
California’s allure tested faith and church loyalties.
Like Samuel Brannan, as Amasa Lyman and Charles C. Rich reported to Brigham
Young in 1850, quite a few Brooklyn
emigrants soon fell away from the church. Some devout battalion veterans also
found life so much more attractive in the Golden State than in Utah Territory
that they ignored repeated appeals to gather in Zion. As time passed, the
ruling church authorities increasingly came to mistrust all California Saints.
From the perspective of the Lion House in Salt Lake, the gold fields of the
Sierra Nevada sheltered too many Mormon mavericks and doctrinal dissenters, not
to mention avowed apostates. In Brigham Young’s view, so he made clear at an
early date, it was impossible to unite California’s Babylon with Utah’s Zion.
