The Church spread to Ohio and Missouri; but because of persecution, the Mormons moved to Illinois where they built the city of Nauvoo. Interest in westward expansion grqw, and the Mormons began to prepare for expeditions across the country. Before the plans were completed, the Saints were once again persecuted. The president of the Church, Joseph Smith, was killed, and the Mormons were again driven out. On February 4th, 1846, the first company of Saints crossed the Mississippi River. Brigham Young, the new leader of the people, led them across Iowa to the Missouri River. They plowed and planted crops for themselves and also for the Mormons who would follow. This was where Winter Camp was set up. At this time, the U.S. Government asked for 500 men to march to California in the war against Mexico. They went. 600 That same winter, 1846-4black from died canker. people The spring of 1847 saw Brigham Young leading a pioneer group west. This company consisted of 143 men, 3 women, and 2 children. There were 73 wagons, 93 horses, .52 mules, 19 cows, 17 dogs, and some chickens. The party left Winter Quarters on April 7th. A group of 1,960 people were to follow shortly afterwards. 7, The route taken was along the North side of the Platte River, to avoid the Oregon Trail and some Missouri enemies. Youngs party crossed over onto the Oregon Trail at Fort Laramie. There they met the vanguard of a company of Mississippi Saints who had stayed the winter with the sick detachments of the Mormon Battalion, 200 miles south at Pueblo. Four of Youngs men were dispatched to lead the Pueblo Saints in the wake of those following behind. Brigham Youngs party met trappers and explorers several times between Fort Laramie and the Salt Lake Valley who told them about the area. Early June brought the Mormons to the North Platte Crossing near the Sweetwater. They reached Fort Bridger on July 7th. There, they broke off from the Oregon Trail onto the Hastings cutoff into the Great Basin. At the Green River Crossing, some of the Saints got Mountain Fever, and near the end of the journey, Brigham Young was also struck by it. He was forced to lag behind, so he sent 42 men and 23 wagons ahead to push down Echo Canyon and follow the Reed-DonnTrail into the Salt Lake Valley. After locating the Donner party, trail of the followed it up Blast the men Canyon. There was some trouble getting over a high ridge, Big Mountain, but they made it. Parley P. Pratt and Erastus Snow entered Salt Lake Valley on er ill-fat- ed the 21st of July and then returned to the company which was camped in Emigration Canyon. On the 22nd, some exploration was made, and by nightfall, the vanguard was in the valley. On the 23rd, the company moved to the north fork of City Creek. Within several hours plowing was started, and water was directed frqm the stream onto the parched earth to prepare it for planting. The season was late and many more Saints would come into the Valley before winter. When Brigham Young arrived July 24, 1847, acres of soil had chi already been planted. As Brigham Young entered the Valley, he carefully surveyed it. As he looked at the locations of the mountains, the lake, and the river, he compared them to maps and journals which had been studied in Nauvoo. All the preparatory study had crystallized into a vision which he saw before him of a new homeland for the LDS Church. This ifrthe place. Drive on !
