The Mormons trekked to Utah in wagons and handcarts, through the prairies and mountain passes. When they finally got to the Salt Lake Valley, they decided to stop, even thought there was nothing but a few trees and the salt water. And they prospered and farmed and brought in trees and lots of other great stuff! :)

How did Mormons view missiourians?

Early Mormons had differing opinions about the Missourians. At first they were hopeful and felt that Missouri was the place that they should settle. Then many Missourians began to be hostile toward the Mormons, which caused most Mormons to feel that the Missourians were unaccepting and intolerant. As time went on, the Missourians became violent and forced the Mormons to flee the state by an Extermination Order, which made Mormons further dislike Missourians. The Mormon Extermination Order was withdrawn in the 1970's and today there are over 60,000 Mormons living in Missouri.
