мормонский батальон
Батальон Армии США [Army, U.S.], принимавший участие в боевых действиях во время Американо-мексиканской войны [Mexican War] 1846-47. Добровольцы (549 человек) были набраны в лагерях мормонов [Mormons] в Территории Айова [Iowa Territory] с помощью Б. Янга [Young, Brigham]. Батальон был сформирован и экипирован в форте Левенуорт [Fort Leavenworth]. После марша в обход г. Санта-Фе и вдоль р. Хила [Gila River] батальон дошел до Калифорнии, неся тяжелые потери. В январе 1847 был расформирован в г. Сан-Диего. Оставшиеся в живых (около 350 человек) присоединились к основной группе, продвигавшейся к берегам Большого Соленого озера [Great Salt Lake]. В Сан-Диего открыт мемориал, посвященный этому походу [Mormon Battalion Memorial Visitors Center]
