The term "Mormon pioneers" refers to the early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who migrated westward in the mid-1800s. Driven by religious persecution and the desire for a safe haven, they traveled thousands of miles, often in covered wagons, to settle in the Salt Lake Valley and surrounding areas. Led by figures like Brigham Young, these pioneers established communities, farms, and infrastructure in what is now Utah. Their journey is marked by resilience and determination, as they faced harsh weather, difficult terrain, and limited resources along the way.
