A Short History of Toquerville

In a letter written by John D. Lee to Willard Richards on August 7, 1852 and published in the Deseret News on November 4, 1852, comes the following quote: "A few days ago we had a visit from the Toquer Indian Captain with about 30 of his warriors, who wished to hold a council with us upon the subjects of forming a settlement in their country.
