Utah Wars Map

The Mormons, having finally escaped persecution, settled in the dry and arid regions of the American Southwest. As their numbers grew, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints pushed for the formation of their very own State, Deseret. This brought them back into conflict with the US government, who adamantly opposed the Mormon practice of plural marriage and deemed it "un-American and rebellious." The American public was whipped into a frenzy as erroneous reports spread of an open Mormon rebellion. In a hasty move President Buchanan dispatched a large regiment of federal troops to quell the perceived uprising. Now the troops are quickly approaching and the residents of Utah are panicked. Their leader, Brigham Young, has urged his followers to "whip them out" by any means necessary. Meanwhile, the Ute chief Black Hawk has taken this opportunity to feed his starving people. An alliance of Utes, Navajo, and Paiute Indians are steeling cattle and sacking Mormon outposts all over the region. The deadliest and most destructive conflict in the American West has erupted!
