About the Mississippi Saints

Our Origins

In 1846, a group of southern members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("Saints") gathered in Mississippi to travel west in order to join the main body of Saints in Wyoming. Known as the Mississippi Saints, they traveled to Fort Laramie before they learned that the main body of Saints would not come west until 1847. They then traveled south and wintered in Pueblo Colorado where they were joined by three detachments of the Mormon Battalion. In 1847, these two groups returned to Wyoming where they joined the main body of Saints that entered the Salt Lake valley in July 1847.
