This Is The Original Salt Palace

The original, sprayed with salt crystals to reflect the sun, was located at 900 South between State St. and Main, Salt Lake City, and burned down in 1910. It had a theater and dances were held there.

JOURNEY OF FAITH by David R. Gunderson

With permission of David R. Gunderson, we include the following book to our blog.   I will do a few increments at a time, as I have done with the Andrew Madsen and James Monsen histories.  I will also paste the pages over to David's own blog page: http://davidrgunderson.blogspot.com/

This book will be of interest to not only the Gunderson Family but also to the Brotherson, Ericksen, Peel,   Madsen, Larsen and more.
