The Mormons succeeded in establishing missions among the Indians in Kansas during the winter of 1838-39, but their first effort in 1830-31--the principal subject of this article--ended in failure. Probably the first effort failed because of the prejudice that existed against missionaries on the part of Indian agents and others along the frontier, and because of Indian intercourse laws which forbade the settlement or residence by whites on Indian lands except by those specially licensed by the Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Based on primary and secondary sources in Kansas State Historical Society and the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
