THE SEA GULL MONUMENT,
erected in commemoration of the Miraculous Delivery
of the Mormon Pioneers from starvation when a
plague of crickets threatened destruction of their
crops in 1848 and 1849. Flocks of Sea Gulls
appeared and preyed upon the destroyers until the
pests vanished and the people were saved. Since then
the Gulls have been protected in Utah by Legis-
lative Enactment.
