description: Gospel Swamp is a tract of about 4,000 acres of damp land lying in the southerly portion of the Rancho Santa Ana [now Fountain Valley], known as "The Gospel Swamp" for the revival meetings that preachers held in tents for the local farmers in the swampland. December 24, 1876, the Saints at Newport, California, dedicated their church, Elder D. S. Mills and others officiating. The branch at the Swamp, called the Newport Branch, is about seventy-six in number, three being added during our stay. A good feeling prevails, and the Saints are winning golden opinions from their neighbors, as a rule; except a few, possibly a very few, who are too bigoted to enjoy their own religion and allow others the same privilege.
