Who led the Mormons to Salt Lake City Utah?

Answer 1

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that God lead the pioneers to safety in Utah. Each of the hundreds of wagon or handcart groups that came was lead by an experienced trail guide. The first group to arrive in Salt Lake City was lead by Brigham Young, who acted as President of the Church after the murder of Joseph Smith. He had received a vision of the Salt Lake valley, so he knew the right place when he saw it.

Well, Brigham Young was the leader of the church at the time and physically lead the people to the area, but many Mormons would answer that God lead them, because they believe that Brigham Young was guided through revelations from God.

Answer 3

Before Joseph Smith was killed, he prophesied that the saints would have to move west to the Rocky Mountains in order to find peace. Shortly after he was killed, the local government asked the Mormons to leave the state in order to preserve the public peace.

Others who did not agree with Brigham Young ended up following other leaders to other states, most of them to Missouri or Michigan.
