Below was the statment which helped him to make the decision

William Clayton, a Mormon emigrant, wrote the following in 1847:

   "When I commune [discuss] with my own heart and ask myself whether I would choose to dwell here in this wild-looking country amongst the Saints [Mormons] surrounded by friends, though poor,...or dwell amongst the gentiles [in this context, non-Mormons] with all their wealth...to be eternally mobbed, harrassed, hunted, our best men murdered...give me the quiet wilderness and my family to associate with."
