From New York City LDS History
A Mormon Colony
New York Tribune, 30 April 1855, p. 6.
A MORMON COLONY.—The ship Siddons, which arrived at Philadelphia on Friday night from Liverpool, had on board 425 Mormon emigrants, destined, as the marks upon their baggage indicated, for "Salt Lake City." They are composed of British families and all appeared well dressed, healthy, and intelligent. They were to proceed immediately, by railroad and steamboat, to the western frontier, and there start overland for their new home in the valley of the Salt Lake, where the leaders of the Mormons seem fast gathering a populous and flourishing community, mostly accumulated from the European hie?? of nations.
