What were the lds pioneers legacy?

Answer 1

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "mormon" church) is known for having an interesting history, unique beliefs, strong moral and family values, extensive humanitarian efforts, and a huge world-famous choir, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Answer 2

Assuming you mean what WERE the LDS pioneers' legacy, a short answer would be they walked thousands of miles to Utah so they could avoid persecution (at one point it was LEGAL in Illinois to kill a Mormon). The pioneers simply wanted a place to worship the Lord in peace. My concise explanation hardly does the story any justice, I highly recommend checking out mormon.org if you have more questions!

Answer 3

It depends on who you ask. Obviously, for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the mere existence of the Church is probably most important, including the reintroduction of modern revelation through a Prophet and, in turn, the reestablishment of Priesthood authority, the building of temples, and the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. On a secular level, Church members were among those who pioneered the trails West and they established the state of Utah. The Church has also been involved in tremendous humanitarian efforts worldwide, including responding to disasters as well as ongoing problems and everyday service projects.

Answer 4

The Mormons weren't the first to come west but they were the first to come enmasse as an organized religion and culture. They didn't want to trap or run cattle like most people who had come west at that point they wanted to settle the land and farm, make new homes. So you could say their legacy is, at least in part, The fact that they proved the west could be settled. But it is important to note that if they hadn't done it someone else would have.

Answer 5

It was a William Clayton, aMormon pioneer who invented the first odometer for a wagon. This occured on the trail as the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints were fleeing from persecutioin and extermination and going west to what would become known as the the Great Salt Lake Valley. Probably the most famous Mormon inventor is John M. Browning. He is the most famous firearms designer the world has ever known with the greatest firearms inventory in history. With 128 firearm patents, John M. Browning's inventions have marked every armed conflict from World War I through Desert Storm. Then there is Philo T. Farnsworth. He developed and invented electronic television. He lived in Idaho, and the first image he transmitted was an image of his wife Robert Ingebretsen is an even more contemporary inventor. In 1999, he received an Academy Award for his pioneering work in digital sound. Ingebretsen and his mentor, Thomas Stockham, invented technology that translated analog sound into a digital format -- a discovery that eventually led to the development of compact discs. James L.Sorenson was an entrepreneur, real estate magnate and inventor of numerous medical devices. Mr. Sorenson held more than 40 medical patents in his lifetime and is perhaps best known for co-developing the first real-time computerized heart monitor. He also invented the disposable paper surgical mask, the plastic venous catheter (for intravenous lines) and a blood recycling system for trauma and surgical procedures, as well as many other medical innovations. These are just a few of the many, many Church members who have made great contributions to science and technology and made the world a better, safer and/or more interesting place.

Answer 6

There still are Mormons. In fact, we just had two Mormons run for President of the United States in the 2012 campaign, though it never became a major issue in the race.
