it was led by Brigham Young, president and prophet of the Mormon church at that time. the Mormons had to leave Missouri because people were telling lies about them to the government and the government forced them to leave. Also people were just plain being incredably rude and persicuting them like tar and feathering their leaders. very, very, bad.
*The Mormon Trail was mostly used between 1846 and 1870.

*In 1869 the railroad reached Utah and greatly lessened the number of people on the trail.

*The Mormon trail was over 1,300 miles long.

*Over 70,000 Mormon Pioneers traveled the trail between 1846 and 1869.

*The Mormons usually traveled on the other side of the river from the Oregon Trail travelers to avoid conflicts.

*Mormon Pioneers rarely traveled on Sunday and were known for traveling quicker than Oregon Trail wagon trains.

*Mormon Pioneers planted small crops along the trail in order to supply food for later travelers.
