"Wasatch Academy, located at Mt. Pleasant, Sanpete County, was founded in 1875 by Duncan McMillan, a young Presbyterian minister. He was encouraged by Sheldon Jackson, a well-known trailblazer and member of a group of apostate Mormons in the area, who would welcome representatives from other Christian denominations and felt this circumstance might provide the justification to establish a Presbyterian Mission in the community."
