Tens of thousands of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) traveled to Utah between 1847 and 1900. Of course many of them had different experiences on their journey, and therefore there were many feelings and reactions upon arriving in Utah. Some were relieved their journey was over. Some were concerned that Utah wasn't the final mover and that they might have to leave soon. Some were disappointed that Utah was so inhospitable and barren, and some of these were hopeful the church would eventually move to California.

∙ 9y agoThe Church was very new when the majority of members lived in New York. There were very few members and communication was difficult. They were likely excited about the new religion they had found, but faced much persecution. They may have also felt unsure about how to continue practicing their faith, as the organization and structure the Church is known for today had not yet been established.
