Mormon Pioneer Cemetery

Also known as Winter Quarters Pioneer Cemetery

"It has been referred to as the tragedy of Winter Quarters, but there was no tragedy here for tragedy spells defeat and disaster. This was the victory of Winter Quarters, for here was faith and hope and charity raised to their loftiest pinnacles, while greed and selfishness were brought low. There are times and places in the life of every nation when great spiritual heights are reached, when courage becomes a living thing, when faith in God stands as the granite mountain wall firm and immovable, while hardships, want hunger, sickness, sorrow and death beat down to crush. Winter quarters was such a time and place for the Mormon people.
