MORMON BATTALION SOLDIERS WIVES AND DAUGHTERS
LEFT AT COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA
The need to assist the U.S. Army in the Mexican War was seen by Brigham Young as an opportunity to obtain some desperately needed financial help from the U.S. Government. The wages of the enlisted soldiers and laundresses provided the means for the driven and care-worn Saints to buy wagons, teams, and supplies for their western trek. The men who mustered out at great sacrifice to their wives and families left them to fend for themselves in covered wagons and makeshift shelters during the winter of 1846. The women listed below are some of the wives and daughters who carried on alone through the many hardships of survival in a makeshift community of huts, snow, hunger, cholera, opppression, mud, and Indians.
