"One of the great episodes in United States history is the migration of the Latter-day Saints from Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1846—their trek across Iowa, their temporary settlements on the Missouri River and their subsequent journey in 1847, westward to the Great Basin. It is a thrilling, faith-promoting story of a great people; a people who believed in God, and who, in their endeavors to incorporate righteous principles into their lives, suffered persecutions from their intolerant, jealous and cruel neighbors. Had the Latter-day Saints abandoned their religious beliefs the would no doubt have been allowed to remain in Illinois; but they were a people of character who held dearer than earthly possessions the right to worship God in freedom and peace, and hence they decided to leave their beautiful city, their homes, their farms and their magnificent Temple (which they had only recently completed) and journey forth into the western wilderness, to seek a new home. "We will go so far into the desert" said President Brigham Young, "that our enemies will not follow us and molest us."" [Author]
