Little known quotation from Brigham Young on “Sons of Ephraim”
“The sons of Ephraim are wild and uncultivated, unruly, ungovernable. The spirit in them is turbulent and resolute… and they are upon the face of the whole earth, bearing the spirit of rule and dictation, to go from from conquering to conquer. They search wide creation and scan every nook and corner of this earth to find out what is upon and within it. I see a congregation of them before me today. No hardship will discourage these men; they will penetrate the deepest wilds and overcome almost insurmountable difficulties to develop the treasures of the earth, to further their indomitable spirit for adventure.”
