It is interesting.
Apparently, the owner of the bracelet was a Mormon soldier part of the battalion.
This is not likely. The mormons do not use the cross or fold their hands when praying.

Did they find a Mexican War era body in a short-sleeve button-down, with a tie and a bike helmet? Haha.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.

You may be correct. They also used to drink coffee but somewhere in the 1920’s or 30’s stopped that. My uncle who is lds, says it was because the didn't want to be identified as Christians, who did drink coffee)

This is not likely. The mormons do not use the cross or fold their hands when praying. From the article: “A sparkling object caught my eye: it was an exquisite silver bracelet, with the Ten Commandments in ancient English and the front and back covers of the Bible carved; 2 angel hands adorned the fasteners”.
Also, the Ten Commandments would have been in Reformed Egyptian instead of ancient English and the book would not have been the Bible, but the Book of Mormon.

They don't use any of this symbology.

If they found a CTR ring, now that would be a different story.

The government offered to award them with terrain in Utah and Nevada where they could freely live according to their religion”.

Hey what about the story that their mormon god gave them the land ???

Two of my great grandfathers brothers were part of the group. Maybe that’s my bracelet!
Or, has anybody thought about the girls from Tijuana? They wore bracelets and remember, every member a missionary!

The mormon soldiers were men from the handcart companies that Brigham Young ordered to go with the US Army...
The men had to desert their families in the snow with nobody to help them...
The US government paid the soldiers and Brigham Young pocketed the money which should have gone to support the wives and children...

The mormon soldiers were men from the handcart companies that Brigham Young ordered to go with the US Army...There were no handcart companies at that time. Brigham Young "ordered" no one. It was a volunteer company. He did have to do some persuading to get enough men to join because there weren't enough volunteers originally.
The men had to desert their families in the snow with nobody to help them...
This was in July. No snow. Their families had the help of all the other Mormons in the camp. We support each other and don't leave each other without help.
The US government paid the soldiers and Brigham Young pocketed the money which should have gone to support the wives and children...
Completely made up nonsense. The money was definitely needed for the move west and it was put to good use.

How does that prove anything about the owner? Actually I live in the east and I remember seeing bracelets that look like that as a kid worn by Christians ...
