Abstract

In 1846, after escaping mob persecution in Nauvoo, Illinois, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints established communities along the Missouri River in both Iowa and Nebraska. Approximately 90 settlements were created within seven years, with the most well-known being Winter Quarters.
