Typescript, carbon, copy of a memoir written by Theodore Boos concerning his service in the United States Army, 10th Infantry Regiment, 1857-1862. Most of the memoir concerns Boos's experiences during the Utah Expedition, 1857-1858, in which the Army intervened in the government of Utah Territory in response to reports of Mormon rebellion. Boos describes in detail the progress of the campaign from Fort Leavenworth to Salt Lake City, including destruction of supply trains by Mormons, the effects of hunger, desertion by soldiers, encounters with traders and American Indians, and other incidents of the march; arrival at Salt Lake City, his impressions of the city and relations between soldiers and Mormons; and the building of Camp Floyd and incidents during two years of encampment there. In 1860 the 10th Regiment left Utah for Fort Laramie, Wyoming. Boos describes life at Fort Laramie, his impressions of Dakota Indians, and news of the Civil War and decisions by officers at Fort Laramie to serve in the United States or Confederate Armies. He briefly describes his discharge in 1862 and return to Chicago, Illinois.
