Synopsis Mormon Battalion by : Norma Ricketts
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 Battalion's members.

Synopsis History May Be Searched in Vain by : Sherman L. Fleek
The great march across the Southwest. The story of that grueling march across wide prairies, mountains, and deserts is central to the battalion's story. It symbolizes the very essence of the Mormon drama as a frontier epic, and proves more than anything else the men's loyalty, stamina, and sacrifice.

Synopsis THE MORMON BATTALION by : B. H. ROBERTS
B. H. ROBERTS – THE MORMON BATTALION Key features of this book: - A biographical sketch of the author with photographs of the author - Multiple original photos included - A complete list of written works by the author (listed in order of initial publication) - Available three formats: eBook, standard paperback and large print paperback - Easy-to-read 12 pt. font size - Proper paragraph formatting with Indented first lines, 1.25 Line Spacing and Justified Paragraphs - Custom Table of Contents and Design elements for each chapter - The Copyright page has been placed at the end of the book, as to not impede the content and flow of the book. On July 16, 1846 approximately 543 latter-day saints volunteered to enlist to aid the U.S. campaign against Mexico. This group of saints was known as the Mormon Battalion, and earned a place in the history of the West. During its 2,000 mile march its men cleared a wagon road from Santa Fe to San Diego and helped secure California as United States territory. Members of the Battalion helped preserve a feeble peace in southern California before the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended hostilities. They established a wagon road between the Gila and the Rio Grande, which influenced the U.S. government to make the Gadsden Purchase. They opened wagon roads that linked California with Salt Lake City via Carson and Cajon passes. A former member of the Battalion was arguably given credit for the discovery of gold in California, while others eventually participated in the gold rush and helped stimulate economic development in the Great Basin. These LDS former soldiers ultimately received favorable recognition both from their military commanders and from other non-Mormons for their industriousness and loyalty. And through it all, never fought a battle. This book is properly formatted for aesthetics and ease of reading. This book is great for teachers and students or for the casual reader. This book is the perfect addition to any classic literary library. At Latter-day Strengths we have taken the time and care into formatting this book to make it the best possible reading experience. Enjoy!
