Families with the Mormon Battalion March of 1846-48

This book provides biographies and histories of the 33 wives, their husbands and children and other family members who went with the Mormon Battalion in 1846-48.  All of the women, except 5, and their children and the family members, left the main body of the Battalion at various points along the way and wintered in Pueblo, Colorado, where the Mississippi Saints had settled a few months before.  The book also has more than 60 pictures.  The biographies and related material comprise nearly 300 pages of text.  View the Table of Contents.
