Mormon pioneers moving into new towns in the early 1800's were often abused or chased out. There are records of homes being burned, women raped, men beaten or killed, and various other crimes in attempt to get the Mormons to move away. Once the Mormons reached Utah in 1847, however, they found relative peace. Despite some contention with Native Americans and the US Government, they were able to establish hundreds of settlements across the west that are thriving cities today.
