The Mormon Battalion Monument rises as a tall stone shaft, with bronze figures of soldiers grouped around its base and relief panels showing a wagon train. A rider lifts his hat, and a mountain slope fills the background. The memorial honors the Latter-day Saint volunteers who marched from Council Bluffs, Iowa, to San Diego during the Mexican-American War. Salt Lake City's monument was dedicated in 1927 and stands on the state capitol grounds. A few visitors stand at the base, giving a sense of the monument's scale.
White border around a glossy black-and-white photographic print; slight edge wear.
