Mormon Battalion Monument overlooking the front of the Utah Capitol 1. The only religiously based unit in the US history. 2. Around 550 mormon volunteers 3. They served from July 1846 to 1847. 4. Thankfully, the only combat they saw was during the "Battle of the Bulls", where they got in a scuffle with actual bulls. #capitolbuildings #mormonhistory #utahcapitol #capitolcityphotography #onlyslightlyinterestingnerdfacts #letshitthisdaynerds #readthatlasthashtagcarefully (at Salt Lake City, Utah)
