Mormon Battalion, Its History and Achievements
Written by B. H. Roberts, 'Mormon Battalion, Its History and Achievements' recounts the unique story of the Mormon Battalion, the only religious unit in U.S. military history. Formed in 1847 during the Mexican-American War, the battalion comprised volunteers from the Mormon community and undertook a grueling 2,100-mile march from Iowa to California. Their service played a significant role in the cession of large territories in the American Southwest, including the Gadsden Purchase of 1853.
