About the Book:Camp Floyd, also known as Fort Crittenden, was a U.S. Army installation located near Fairfield, Utah, in the Utah Territory. It played a significant role in the Utah War, a little-known conflict that took place in 1857-1858 between the United States government and the Mormons, who had settled in Utah under the leadership of Brigham Young. The Utah War was rooted in a series of misunderstandings, cultural clashes, and concerns about Mormon autonomy. Tensions escalated when President James Buchanan, fearing a supposed Mormon rebellion, dispatched a large military force to Utah, led by Colonel Albert Sidney Johnston. Camp Floyd was established in 1858 as a staging ground for this federal expedition. The Utah War, however, ended relatively peacefully without a major conflict between the U.S. Army and the Mormons. Brigham Young chose a policy of non-resistance, and the Mormons evacuated Salt Lake City, which became known as the "Utah War Run." The U.S. Army took control of the city without any resistance. Camp Floyd became the largest military installation in the United States at the time, with over 3,500 troops stationed there. It had a significant impact on the local economy, as soldiers and civilians engaged in trade with the nearby Mormon settlements. However, the camp was short-lived, as the outbreak of the Civil War led to the withdrawal of federal troops in 1861. Today, Camp Floyd State Park and Museum preserves the history of this unique military installation and its connection to the Utah War, offering visitors a glimpse into this little-known chapter of American history. This book delves into so many more details that are relatively unknown... Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc. The photos and text in this listing are copyrighted.
