Rasmus and Ingerline Petersen came to the Utah Territory with the first LDS Scandinavian company to immigrate in 1852. With the coming of the U.S. (Johnston's) Army in 1858, the Petersens left Salt Lake City, moving south to Pleasant Grove to escape the army's expected revengeful entrance into the Salt Lake Valley. They decided to stay permanently in Pleasant Grove...By 1860, six Scandinavian families had settled in Pleasant Grove. Ten years later that number had increased to 35, and in another ten years, in 1880, it had reached 110... Why did so many Scandinavian Saints settle in Pleasant Grove when as a rule new Scandinavian immigrants were sent to Sanpete County for settlement? [From the text]
