Summary: Most people think that the Latter-day Saints all left Nauvoo in the winter of 1846 following Brigham Young, but such is not the case. President Young led a small group that was called the Vanguard Company. The great majority of the Saints came out of Nauvoo in the Spring and Summer of 1846. They were the Spring Exodus.
