Company B-Mormon Battalion, Original Cast Recording
Original Cast Recording- Company "B", Mormon Battalion. Synopsis: The year was 1846. The prairie lands of Iowa were sore with the sight of the outcast Mormon settlers. These destitute pioneers, chased from their homes by vicious mobs, were ironically called to serve in the Mexican War- by the same government that had refused to protect their rights as citizens. Over 500 of the men and women enlisted and undertook a 2000 mile march across the mountains and desert wilderness before reaching the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Company B of the Mormon Battalion was ordered to garrison San Diego. There they proved themselves so valuable that the citizens invited them to make San Diego their permanent home. From Trail blazing wagon roads to discovering gold at Sutter's Mill, the Mormon Battalion has left a lasting imprint in the annuls of California history......Track info: Overture, A Place to go, Give me 500 men, It will be Heaven, Woman of refinement, In the army, Little bit of arsenic, A Mother's prayer, God bless the captain, I ain't goin' back, Best of company B, Bein' Neighborly, A glimpse of Heaven, Diego's lullaby, San Diego, We salute you (16 tracks)
