Excerpt from The Utah Pioneers Twenty-four young men, dressed in white, with white scarfs on their right shoulders, and coronets on their heads, each carrying in his right hand the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, with a sword sheathed in his left hand; one of them carrying a beautiful banner, inscribed on it, The Zion of the Lord. Twenty-four young ladies, dressed in white, with white scarfs on their right shoulders, and wreaths of white roses on their heads, each carrying the Bible and Book of Mormon, and one bearing a very neat banner, Hail to our Chieftain.
