The Mormons were settled in Nauvoo, Illinois on the banks of the Mississippi river. They were then forced to leave in 1846, essentially the then United States and travel to what is now Utah. Brigham Young, the prophet at the time, led them there, as he saw in a vision the place where they were to go and flourish, as they did in Utah. They reached the Salt Lake valley in 1847.
How long it took to travel the Mormon Trail depended on how you were traveling. A man on a fast horse (such as a Pony Express rider) could travel the trail within just a few days. A small company in a fast carriage (this is the mode most Mormon Missionaries took to the East Coast) would take a couple of weeks at most. A large group with wagons would take a couple months, and walking or pulling your own handcart would take even longer.

Columbus began his famous trip from Palos, Spain, in 1492. Christopher Columbus was an Italian navigator from the Republic of Genoa. He became a Spanish Admiral. After his famous trip in 1492, he made three more voyages to the Americas.
The cost of an average bus pass was a half penny for a round trip. In New York City it could cost up to 25 cents, depending on what part of the city you lived in.
