Mormon Battalion: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Mormon Battalion" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Few events in the history of the American Far West from 1846 to 1849 did not involve the Mormon Battalion. The Battalion participated in the United States conquest of California and in the discovery of gold, opened four major wagon trails, and carried the news of gold east to an eager American public. Yet, the battalion is little known beyond Mormon history. This first complete history of the wide-ranging army unit restores it to its central place in Western history, and provides descendants a complete roster of the Battalions members.
