The knew what everyone else knew -- that is, virtually nothing. What little they did know was based on reports by a handful of scouts and explorers who had been to parts of the western continent before 1846.
Uhh, I don't know who "mormon beckworth is, but the term "Mormon" comes from the "Book Of Mormon", which is a sacred text to the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS). Mormon is a slang reference to LDS.
The first Mormon Pioneer group took 2 years to cross the Mormon trail... this is mostly because there wasn't yet a trail and they didn't really know exactly where they were going. Later groups took several weeks to several months, depending on the number of people, weather, and mode of transportation.
I don't know what you mean by founded, but the Mormon trail was the path the lds church took moving from Navoo to Salt Lake City Utah. Why? Because the prophet Joesph Smith, said so. He heard it from god that the saints should go there so they did.
try googling it, or looking in a history book, you'll find it, i have one in my history book, so you know
The Oregon Trail at times converges with the Mormon Trail, and most often runs parallel to it.The Oregon Trail and the Mormon Trail began for vastly different reasons. Let's start with the Oregon Trail.The Oregon Trail began as a road for Westward expansion. Fur traders and trappers first set the trail, which was passable only on foot or on horseback. It later was by gold miners, the poor seeking greater opportunity, and even criminals fleeing into the "Wild West." The Oregon Trail represents Manifest Destiny, American Frontierism, and American Expansionism.The Mormon Trail has more in common with the Native Americans' Trail of Tears and far less in common with the American dream. The Latter-day Saints (called "Mormons" because the hold the Book of Mormon as a sacred text and testimony of Jesus Christ) were slaughtered and kicked out of their homes in Ohio, Missouri, and finally in Illinois. After the martyrdom of Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith at Carthage, Illinois, Brigham Young (then president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles) led the Latter-day Saints westward to escape persecution and slaughter. The course of their exodus is now known as the Mormon Trail.The Mormons settled primarily in what we now know as Utah, Idaho, Arizona, and California, and what was at that time Mexico. During their trek, the United States Army requested Mormon aid in the Mexican-American War, to which the company acquiesced despite the state and federal government's continued "blind eye" toward the injustices committed against them.
Over 70,000 people traveled the Mormon trail in a period of about 25 years, not counting supply wagons, missionaries heading abroad, or those leaving Utah. It would be impossible to know how many wagons in total travelled the Mormon trail.
because they didn't know
The Book of Mormon does not say who the prophet Mormon's grandfather was. He does say that his father was also named Mormon, but we don't know much else about his family.
the first cattle trail was the Chisholm trail
The Oregon trail started in Independence, Missouri, and ended in Oregon City.Sources:Where_did_Oregon_Trail_begin_and_end
Mostly that we, the mormons, believe in the book of Mormon, and methodist's don't. that is the biggest difference that I know of!!
I dont know that it's possible to 'have mormon', but Jaren Murillo is a member of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which means he is a "Mormon".
