Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:

The Twenty-Fourth Day of July is PIONEER DAY, when members of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints observe and celebrate the anniversary of the arrival in Eighteen Forty-Seven (1847) of Brigham Young and the Mormon pioneers in the valley of the Great Salt Lake.



To learn more about this subject, I highly recommend reading one of my favorite historical novels, "FIRE OF THE COVENANT", written by one of my favorite authors, Gerald Niels Lund.

PIONEER DAY is a joyful time for the entire family, celebrated with parades, picnics, rodeos, dances, parties, stage plays, and fireworks. 

For the best effect, please be sure to enjoy watching, in "FULL SCREEN" mode, this automated video series of my homemade amateur video recordings of ME (!), strumming my Yamaha G-130A classical guitar, as I sing a few of my favorite "Mormon" hymns.
