Faith in Every Footstep: The Epic Pioneer Journey

"The epic pioneer journey of the Latter-day Saints began on the banks of the Mississippi River. Here at Nauvoo they had transformed a swamp into a thriving community of commerce and fellowship. But Nauvoo was not to be a final home, merely a brief rest for a season. The severe persecution that had driven the Saints from Missouri again threatened their lives and their city. The Prophet Joseph Smith and Hyrum were martyred at Carthage Jail on June 27, 1844. Life in Nauvoo was drawing to a close...

Sunday, February 1, 1846, the Saints worshiped together in the “City of Joseph.” The next day, Brigham Young directed families to be ready to leave with only four hours’ notice.

In the bone-chilling cold of that bitter winter, the exodus began. Many of the Saints gathered their belongings and closed the doors of their dwellings for the last time as they turned to what lay across the river—and west." President Gordon B. Hinkley  “Faith in Every Footstep: The Epic Pioneer Journey,” Ensign, May 1997, 62
