Abstract
In the summer of 1847, Latter-day Saint pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley. Escaping persecution, these pioneers came by wagon and foot leaving possessions, homes and even family in pursuit of a new life. The desire to live and worship freely drove thousands of pioneers through the Rocky Mountains to what is now Utah.
