The principal article in this roundtable discussion makes a plausible argument that the Henry Sherwood plat of Salt Lake City was the initial design of this new Latter-day Saint homeland as directed by Brigham Young shortly after the vanguard pioneer company set up camp in the Salt Lake Valley in July 1847 (fig. 1). Its authors claim that plats by Bullock and other pioneers based their design and function on Sherwood’s. The recent reemergence of the Sherwood plat is especially noteworthy for all who are interested in the history of the city that Chauncy Harris referred to as a “regional capitol” and of Latter-day Saint settlement generally. While the plat is undoubtedly of great historical significance, as manifest by its purchase in 2017 by the Library of Congress, the question of its primacy is another matter [Author]
