This article is an effort to bring to light what, exactly, that early information was, and to delineate as much as possible the route by which it was conveyed from the valleys of the Great Basin to eastern newspapers. It also attempts to provide a rough idea of how broadly this early information was disseminated across the country, which was generally done through the relatively new electromagnetic telegraph system or by editors simply reprinting articles of interest they had read in other papers. I will also examine the origin and perpetuation of some of the misconceptions about conditions in the valley, especially the persistent rumors that the Mormons had found significant deposits of gold in the region.
