In 1847, Mormons, led by [[Brigham Young]], travelled west to escape persecution and founded [[Salt Lake City, Utah]]. Salt Lake City is famous for its wide streets, which were made wide enough to allow a wagon team to turn around. Salt Lake City is home to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which has been recording since 1910 and broadcasting since 1929. Its recordings usually feature hymns and patriotic music. The Choir has made five gold and two platinum recordings.
Between 1840 and 1890, [[polygamy]] was sanctioned and even encouraged by the LDS Church. While it is forbidden today, however some LDS members still do not believe it to be sinful.<ref>http://www.jefflindsay.com/LDSFAQ/love.shtml#polyg</ref>
