Two Utah men, Charles Decker and
Jesse Earl, went into the soldiers‟
camps posing as travelers from
California. What they learned while
mingling with the uninformed and
boastful enlisted men and junior
officers only fueled Mormon fears
that the army was coming to hang
their leaders and abuse their
women

This fear led to one of
the most horrific events
in Utah‟s history.
The massacre of over a
hundred people.

Made up of people from Missouri and Arkansas
Had planned to buy food in Utah
Came just as the Utahans had received word about
Church leader, Parley P. Pratt, being killed in
Arkansas
Some people who perhaps weren‟t really part of
the wagon train bragged about killing Joseph Smith
Became frustrated as they worked their way south
and still could not buy food
Stopped at a water hole- Later Paiutes had animals
die from water at that hole

„Our orders were not to engage in
battle with [the soldiers] nor to
take life, but to hinder them in
every possible way we could.‟
Major Lot Smith later said he‟d been
ordered not to hurt anyone except
in self-defense. Even when the
soldiers grew more aggressive,
Mormons did not return fire.
![Page 38: Utah War - Ms. Nay's Classesnaysnews.weebly.com/uploads/2/2/4/4/22440840/utah_war_ppt.pdf · Utah War Utah Expedition ... no big trees around Fairfield so the Army built Camp Floyd](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060221/5f074f547e708231d41c59ad/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Utah‟s forces burned the grass for up to a mile
on either side of the road, making it
inconvenient for troops to find forage for
their stock and draft animals.
Night „serenading‟ parties using tin pans, tied
and dried raw hides and bake-oven lids for
„musical instruments‟ disturbed the soldiers‟
sleep and stampeded their mules and cattle.
This tactic was particularly effective on
snowy, windy nights when visibility was
poorest.

The single most damaging and
controversial operation of the
winter campaign was the burning
of three army wagon trains with
500,000 pounds of government
supplies. The 27-year-old Major
Lot Smith became a Utah legend
for leading these audacious raids.

Scouts were sent from the Army
to see how conditions were into
the Salt Lake valley
Their reports kept the Army
from advancing

The 100 militiamen in Echo Canyon built 350
campfires along the hillsides to convince
scouts that it was occupied

The built a wall on a hill top above
Mormon Flats
They placed dummies and sticks with
hats inside the walls which they would
move around
Branches painted black to represent
guns would be stuck out of the
windows
People coming through the canyon
believed that the fort was occupied by
Nauvoo Legion Forces

As the new Governor, Albert Cummings, came
into the canyon, Infantry and cavalry formed
single-file lines of 25 on either side of the
roadway. As the governor‟s carriage passed by,
they would sneak ahead behind the lines under
the cover of darkness and sagebrush, presenting
themselves repeatedly to their new governor.

The Army was convinced
that it would not be
smart to enter the
canyon so they chose
to stay and winter in
Wyoming

his men burned it in
anticipation of the
army‟s inhabitation.

Neither side was willing to accept defeat.
Agreement was that the soldiers could enter
the Salt Lake Valley but could not stop in Salt
Lake.
Guards from the Nauvoo Legion stay to
watch over the homes in Salt Lake with
orders that if one soldier breaks ranks and
enters a home, they will burn the city.

Divert attention from “bleeding Kansas”
Bleeding Kansas, sometimes referred to in
history as Bloody Kansas or the Border War,
was a series of violent events, involving anti- slavery
and pro-slavery “Border Ruffian" elements, that
took place in the Kansas Territory and the western
frontier towns of the U.S. state of Missouri roughly
between 1854 and 1858. These incidents were
attempts to influence whether Kansas would enter
the Union as a free or slave state.

US Secretary of War John Floyd served under
James Buchanan
He was a Southern Sympathizer
Albert Johnston called Camp Floyd after him
Charges come out the day he resigns from
Secretary of War that he had misdirected funds to
contractors and guns to the South. Neither charge
will be fully investigated and his guilt (or innocence)
is still a hotly debated subject
He becomes a General in the Confederate Army

There are no sources for lumber, no big trees around Fairfield so the Army built Camp Floyd from Adobe Brick
They could not make enough brick fast enough so they contracted with locals. They paid a penny a brick. They eventually paid $16,000.00 for brick.

It was dusty. Some of the soldiers write
about having more than a foot of dust on the
parade grounds.
The Cooks would set the Officers‟ Table
with the plates upside down so they
wouldn‟t bet dusty between setting the
table and eating
The dust got between pages of books.
There wasn‟t much to do and the men were
often bored
