Best Answer

549 or 593 with children

Book Entry: 1846; "August, Sat. 1. - The Mormon Battalion , now numbering 549 souls, including officers, privates and servants, arrived at Fort Leavenworth." (LDS Church chronology 1805 - 1914, by Andrew Jenson, page 30)

There were 35 women with the Mormon Battalion and about 44 children. The children would not have been in the totalled number so the actual people with the Mormon Battalion would be 593.

Eventually all of them died, but during the march 22 died. Mainly from disease and other causes.
