The first Mormons left Nauvoo, Ill., and crossed the Mississippi River heading toward Utah. Brigham Young, Joseph Smiths successor, led the Mormons overland from Nauvoo, Ill., to the Great Salt Lake Valley. Mormon pioneer Sam Brannon gathered some 250 Mormons aboard the ship, Brooklyn, and sailed from New York to San Francisco. [see 1847]
