Overall a nice copy. <p> Henry Standage was one of the volunteers serving in the Mormon Battalion during its march from Fort Leavenworth Kansas through Oklahoma New Mexico and Arizona to San Diego and Los Angeles. Professor Golder came across his journal in Arizona and obtained permission to publish it. It covers the period of the march from June 1846 through the battalion being paid off in July 1847. <br> From the Introduction by Reed Smoot: "The story of the Battalion is introduced by a historical sketch of the rise and progress of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints down to the year 1839 when the Nauvoo period of 'Mormon' history begins leading up to the principal theme presented in these papers. Following that sketch are the Church's Articles of Faith and a brief setting forth of its organization and government." <br> This unique event in American history and American military history is also fleshed out by presented letters and speeches of various governors military officers presidents and other people directly involved with the Mormon migrations and the decisions to create the Mormon battalion. As far as I am aware this is the only Army unit ever raised solely along religious bounds. It is perhaps somewhat comparable to the nisei units raised during World War II or the various black regiments raised from the Civil War through the early Korean War.; Ex-Library; 7¾" - 9¾" Tall .
