Forced from their homes in Nauvoo, Illinois, the first contingent of Latter-day Saints crossed the Missouri River in February 1846 and made camp by Sugar Creek in southeast Iowa. From there, beset by snow and freezing temperatures, they began the 2,000-kilometer trek westward under the watchful gaze of Church authorities. Painting courtesy of Lennon and Suzanne Ledbetter.
