Ex. Doc. No. 99., 35th Congress, 1st Session. "Letter from the Secretary of War, in answer to A resolution of the House calling for a statement of all contracts made in connection with the Utah expedition." 5pp. Binding loose, foxing and soiling. The Utah Expedition, also known as the Utah War / Buchanan's Blunder / the Mormon War / or the Mormon Rebellion, was an armed confrontation between Mormon settlers in Utah Territory and US armed forces. The confrontation lasted from May 1857 to July 1858. The Mormons blocked the army's entrance into the Salt Lake Valley, and weakened the U.S. Army by hindering them from receiving provisions. While there were some casualties, the war had no notable military battles. It ended with Brigham Young being removed as governor of Utah. President Buchanan also awarded full amnesty for charges of sedition and treason to the citizens of Utah Territory if they accepted US federal authority.
