What is the Mormon community history from 1839-1846?
Between 1839 and 1846, most of the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) lived in or near Nauvoo, Illinois. They intended to establish Nauvoo as a religious community, but were asked to leave by the local government in 1845, after their prophet, Joseph Smith, was murdered. This is because the government could not stop non-Mormon locals from raiding Nauvoo and neighboring Mormon settlements. It is an important place in Mormon history because it is the first place where they were able to build the first 'full service' Mormon temple. A previous one in Kirtland, Ohio was used for meetings but Nauvoo had the first temple dedicated to performing ordinances such as baptism and marriage. At it's peak, Nauvoo was the second largest city in Illinois (behind Chicago) and with it's strategic location on the Mississippi River, was a popular stopping point for tourists and merchants. Entire books have been written about this period, so it would be impossible to describe the history of the community here.

What is the Mormon community from 1829 1846?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) began in 1830, so there was no Mormon community in 1829. The period of 1830 to 1846 is a very distinct period in Mormon history. During this time, Church headquarters and the bulk of its members moved from state to state in search of religious freedom. They moved from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois. Mormon settlements also began in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Nebraska. Each time they settled, they were forced out by persecution and violence. In 1847, the church headquarters moved to Utah, where it has been located ever since. This period is also unique in Mormon history because the bulk of modern Mormon practices and doctrine stem from this period. Joseph Smith, the founder of the church, was killed in 1844. The modern church still follows the same doctrines and practices that he put in place and has made relatively few changes since that time.
When did the Mormon trail begin and end?
