I assume you are asking about the fur trappers and missionaries that contributed to the westward expansion in the United States. They were not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but many did interact with or assist the Mormons in their travels west. Additional Answer: This is not to say, however, that Latter-day Saints didn't participate in such activities. Journals of numerous families who settled in Utah in the mid-1800s are replete with stories of Latter-day Saint mountain men who frequently trapped for pelts that could be used to barter with neighbors and local tribes. Many modern Latter-day Saints participate to this day in Mountain Man Rendevouz' every year throughout the Rocky Mountain west. And, of course, Latter-day Saints are famous for their own missionary efforts around the world.

Various groups of settlers settled in The Rocky Mountain Range, including fur trappers, ranchers, miners, and later on, homesteaders and tourists seeking outdoor recreation.
