Book description:
Camp Floyd and the Mormons traces the history of the sojourn of “Johnston’s Army” in Utah Territory from the beginning of the Utah War in 1857 through the abandonment of Camp Floyd in Cedar Valley at the outbreak of the Civil War. Its focus is upon the relationship between the “invaders” and the local Mormon population, with an ancillary interest in Indian affairs and the activities of federal officials in Utah during that volatile period.
