Description: Mormon pioneers flag in Utah raised at the Old Utah fort in 1847. Similar to the American flag but with 15 stars less stripes and twice as long.
The flag was described as:"...When Jedediah M. Grant arrived in the valley in October of 1847, he apparently brought fabric with him and a Stars and Stripes flag was made, which displayed a circle of fifteen stars in its blue union. We don’t know its size, but it was big enough to be flown on a flagpole at Salt Lake’s Old Fort." -(https://flag-post.com/big-flags-a-utah-tradition)
