Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book The March of the Mormon Battalion Through New Mexico written by George Hackler and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The March of the Mormon Battalion in 1846 from Council Bluffs, Iowa to San Diego was long over before the participants themselves and historians began to realize what a major undertaking had just taken place. The war with Mexico, the relocation of the Mormons and the discovery of gold in California all served to over-shadow the momentous accomplishment. Much has been written to preserve and celebrate this contribution to the expansion of our nation. The March through New Mexico traverses such a desolate, harsh and forbidding land that details of this stretch are often glossed over or ignored. New Mexico is a large state, geographically diverse, with a climate which ranges from desert to alpine. Even today much of the state traversed by their march is remote and largely accessible only by four wheel drive vehicles. George Hackler, a life long resident of southern New Mexico covers the history of the March with his intimate knowledge of the landscape to produce a detailed tracing of the route.The story is told with over sixty color photographs and forty topographical maps to help the reader follow along with and see what the the volunteer soldiers saw so long ago. The story pulls together tedious ground surveys done by dedicated researchers not here-to fore available to the general public.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Patriots, Prostitutes, and Spies, John M. Belohlavek tells the story of women on both sides of the Mexican-American War (1846-48) as they were propelled by the bloody conflict to adopt new roles and expand traditional ones. American women "back home" functioned as anti-war activists, pro-war supporters, and pioneering female journalists. Others moved west and established their own reputations for courage and determination in dusty border towns or bordellos. Women formed a critical component of the popular culture of the period, as trendy theatrical and musical performances drew audiences eager to witness tales of derring-do, while contemporary novels, in tales resplendent with heroism and the promise of love fulfilled, painted a romanticized picture of encounters between Yankee soldiers and fair Mexican senoritas. Belohlavek juxtaposes these romantic dreams with the reality in Mexico, which included sexual assault, women soldaderas marching with men to provide critical supportive services, and the challenges and courage of working women off the battlefield. In all, Belohlavek shows the critical roles played by women, real and imagined, on both sides of this controversial war of American imperial expansion.
