The 19th-century Mormon migration which began in 1846 in Illinois, then traveled through Iowa and Nebraska and eventually to a leading the LDS Pioneers to a place of refuge in the Rocky Mountains, was one of the most remarkable episodes in the history of the United States’ great western migration. Under Brigham Young's direction, an estimated 70,000 Latter-day Saints made the difficult journey to Utah from 1847 until the transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869.
