Why did the Mormon leaders send members to begin settlements on other areas of the great basin?
Mormon settlements were scattered all over the great basin for several reasons. One was self-sufficiency. Mormons believe in being self-sufficient and taking care of themselves. In order to do this, they had to set up settlements in different areas and trade supplies with each other. For example, some settlements were on great farming land, others were on great ranching land, some were in warmer areas to harvest fruits, cotton, and silk worms, some were in wooded areas to provide lumber, and others were in mining areas to provide metals and minerals. Other settlements were set up as stops or supply points along travel routes. The west was desperately in need of these trade-stations and these towns flourished with business from both Mormon and non-Mormon travelers. Another reason is that the Church was growing rapidly, and they needed to stake their claim on a lot of land before they grew out the little space available in Salt Lake City.
