Book excerpt: A thoroughly researched treasure trove of historic material, "Fooled Everyone - The Utah War 1857-1858" stands as the preeminent source on the history of this intriguing historic event. This unique volume provides a wealth of details on how the invading soldiers who marched with the Utah Expedition, and the Mormon defenders of their frontier homeland, appeared - the clothing they wore, the weapons they carried, and the equipment used during this lesser known but significant episode in Utah and American history. Richly illustrated with photographic examples of both artifacts from that time period and accurate modern reproductions, this work draws heavily on knowledge gleaned from both official records of the U.S. Army and dramatic first-hand accounts, lending insights into the human experience of this conflict. Thanks to this authoritative publication, our understanding of this pre-Civil War conflict is broadened, our appreciation for the participants on both sides is deepened, and the author's expertise and lifetime passion for the material culture and history of the Utah War and Camp Floyd is generously presented.
