Mormon Battalion Miracles

It is a curated category of faith-promoting accounts connected to the Mormon Battalion — the roughly 500 Latter-day Saint volunteers who marched nearly 2,000 miles from Council Bluffs, Iowa to San Diego, California between July 1846 and January 1847 during the Mexican–American War. Accounts include healings on the march, divine provision of food and water, protection from danger, and answers to prayer. Each account is also sorted into its proper miracle type, so the Battalion collection is a people-category rather than a separate kind of miracle.

No. Every account is a single record. A Battalion story that involves a healing, for example, is categorized under 'Healing / Medical Reversal & Remission' as its miracle type and also tagged as a Mormon Battalion account. The total number of miracles in the archive never double-counts it.

Use the 'Browse by Miracle Type' grid on this page to see Battalion accounts grouped by the kind of miracle — visions, healings, protection, divine provision, and more. You can also browse by the decade the account is set in.
