Thanks so much for sharing your research with us. I learned a lot. I think these efforts prove that Mormons should expand their celebration of Mormon history from the singular focus on Utah pioneers to the include the experiences of the Saints in other countries. Until we do that, I don't think we can reasonably claim that the LDS religion is an international religion. Brilliant post, Ronan. Thanks so much for sharing your research with us. I learned a lot.

The Ship Brooklyn society formed locally and created museum exhibits for local museaums detailing LDS connections to California history. Also the state park at Coloma (gold rush) has a Mormon Cabin which was recreated and funded by local saints to remember that two Mormons found the first gold in California. Both the Brooklyn Society and the Coloma crew are keeping the ties of the church with California history alive and creating sacred Mormon spaces in San Francisco and Sacramento. Ronan,
