Answer:

After many years of wandering, Brigham Young eventually led the Mormons to their "promised land" in the Utah territory, where they arrived in July 1847.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brigham Young was an American preacher and historian, and the first governor of the state of Utah. He was also the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, popularly known as Mormons. Because of the similarities between the Israelite exodus and the Mormon exodus, historians sometimes call him the "American Moses" because of his role in leading the Saints from Nauvoo, Illinois, to the state of Utah in 1847.
