At the time the Mormons migrated west the now states of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico were part of the country of Mexico. War broke out with Mexico and the US Government commissioned a battalion of Mormons to join the military. This group known as the Mormon Battalion marched nearly 2,000 miles from Council Bluffs, Iowa to San Diego, California where they were discharged. Meanwhile Brigham Young led the Mormon Pioneers west to the Great Salt Lake Valley in which they settled (1847). After being discharged from the US Army members of the Mormon Battalion traveled north to Sacramento, California wherein they were instumental in the discovery of GOLD at Sutters Mill. This helped the U.S. lay claim to these areas by the U.S. when the treaty was signed in 1848.
