Question

Why did the fur trappers come to today's Utah?

Answer 1

These employees of the Ashley-Henry Fur Company had arrived in northern Utah by the spring of 1824 after having failed in their attempts to compete on the upper Missouri River because of their loss of men and supplies. The Ashley-Henry Company turned desperately to the Rocky Mountains in a final attempt to survive.

Answer 2

I was not fully aware that they did. the only reason fur trappers come is if there is animals with fur they can trap enough of to make a business. The main colonizers of Utah were actually Mormons who were in mid-exodus from the United States and fled there for protection by the then Mexican Government, only to be given over after the Mexican American War to the U.S., who, no surprise here, still hated Mormons.
