( Mormon "MOM1011 MOM1011 ) ( settlements SOUIC111CAS ) in Utah were separated from the outposts of civilization ( 011 oil ) the Missouri ( Kiver River ) by ( fifteen fifteeii ) hundred miles of hard , ( tedious tedioiis ) travel over plains , deserts , and mountains . During the early ( years -years years ) of the Mormon settlements it was ( necessary necesl3jary ) for them to obtain their supplies by this overland route . Their numbers ( were -Nvere Nvere ) constantly being increased by ( converts couverts ) made in the ( eastern eastCT11 ) part of the ( United TJnited ) States and in many of the ( Euro- Euro ) pean countries . ( Under -UndeT UndeT ) the plan of the church , it was contemplated that all of these converts should eventually come to ( Utali Utah ) for the purpose of ( becom- becom ) ing permanent residents . To the Mormon therefore the ( problem problein ) of ( traus- traus ) , , portation was of vast importance . The gold rush was ( on oil ) in California . Ships left the European ports and the eastern ( ports poits ) of the United States for California practically daily . . Many boats ( carried carTied ) their freight and passengers to the Isthmus of Panama , where they passed ( over- over ) land to the Pacific coast and then proceeded by boats to the California towns . . |
