Duty Calls – Duty Triumphs
This is a two-part series of twice life-sized bronzes that honor the Mormon Battalion. The monuments were unveiled in 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
In “Duty Triumphs,” the tattered and sick survivors can be seen as they arrived at San Luis Rey near San Diego on January 29, 1847, during the war with Mexico. More than half of them had no shoes and wore rags for clothes. They helped make San Diego into a city, digging wells and making a brick factory and other buildings. Half of them went to Los Angeles and built Fort Moore. After their discharge from the army, many worked at John Sutter’s Mill near Sacramento. This is where they discovered the gold that began the California Gold Rush.
