Salt Lake House<br />
The western Pony Express route laid out by<br />
Egan departed from the Salt Lake House<br />
Station (now 143 South Main Street) to the<br />
Traveler’s Rest (or Trader’s Rest) Station, a small<br />
adobe and plank building (now about 7200<br />
South State Street).<br />
The route then went southwest to the<br />
Orrin Porter Rockwell Station (located 100 yards south of the present site of the Utah State Prison<br />
in Draper). It crossed the Jordan River where the stream cuts through the Traverse Mountain<br />
Range (now called “South Mountain”) at “Point of the Mountain.” The trail then went north of<br />
Utah Lake to Joe’s Dugout Station (Joseph “Joe” Dorton) and the Faust Station (Henry Jacob<br />
“Doc” Faust, horse-raiser). Rockwell, Dorton and Faust were frontier associates of Egan. The<br />
route continued west to Camp Floyd and thence to Fish Springs in the Dugway Range.<br />
