The big bend of the Weber River was the winter home of several bands of Indians

Copied from A Sketch of the Life of Erastus Bingham and Family, pg 62-63.

[Brigham Heber Bingham] was not satisfied with his location in Ogden Valley, and he moved to a section of land in the eastern part of West Weber, four miles west of Ogden. He built a one room log house with a board floor. They experienced some of the trials and hardships of pioneer life.

At this time [circa 1870s], the big bend of the Weber River was the winter home of several bands of Indians. Brigham Heber Bingham followed President Young’s advice to feed the Indians and they were never molested.
