"Soon after the settlement of Utah, in 1847, the Mormon pioneers began to establish home industries in order to make themselves as economically independent as possible. Since all manufactured goods had to be hauled from the Missouri River to Salt Lake City be team, sugar was worth from forty cents to one dollar a pound. In 1852 John Taylor, who was laboring as a missionary in France, conceived and launched the most important beet sugar project in America up to that time. The story of the early Mormons['] attempt to manufacture beet sugar in the west is in itself a mighty epic—a dramatic beginning of the story of the beet sugar industry in America." [Introduction]
