[T Minus Four]

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...

No kidding? What was up with that?

As they were moving traveling to Utah, some US Army officers met them and asked for vo,lunteers to go anf fight the Mexicans...

Brigham Young made a deal with them for payment for each man who went...

THen he ordered I think it was 500 to go...

Brigham Young promised the men that he would make sure their wives and childrfen were well looked after...

The money was signed over to the greedy paws of Brigham Young...(for “safe keeping”)

The families never saw any of it...Typical BY...

They actually suffered because their men were not there to help them get to Utah and to live after they got there......

But of co9urse it was the Missourians fault...

or was it tjhe Ohioans fault ???

Anyone but Brigham Young...
