Battle of the Bulls

The mormon Battalion in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona.The only battle the battalion faced was near the San Pedro River in Arizona, November 1846. This area was home to a number of wild cattle. The battalion's presence aroused curiosity among these animals, and the bulls of these herds caused destruction to some of the mules and wagons.

In response to this, the men loaded their guns and attacked the charging bulls.10-15 of the wild cattle were killed in this effort.[6]

And yet, today, we are STILL battling MORMON bull!
