In Fort Limhi: The Mormon Adventure in Oregon Territory, 1855–1858, David Bigler shows that the colony, known as the Salmon River Mission, played a pivotal role in the Utah War of 1857–1858 and that the catastrophic end of the mission was critical in preventing all out war between Mormon Utah and the Unite States. In the proces, he uses a multitude of primary sources, many newly uncovered or previously overlooked, to reconstruct a dramatic and compelling story involving stalwart Mormon frontiersmen, Brigham Young, a variety of Native American individuals and groupls, the U. S. Army, and "mountaineers," as the surviving fur trader veterans now commonly known as "mountain men" called themselves. As historian Will Bagley writes in his foreword to the book, "With astonishing fish stories, desperate Indian battles, life-threatening chases, and heroic rides to rescue a terrified and helpless outpost, this work has all the elements of a great frontier novel."
