This movie, available through BYUTV tells the stories of the women left behind by the Mormon Battalion. It makes its presentation through modern dance, song and narration.
The Mormon Battalion was mustered to support the Union in the Mexican-American War while the Saints were in Iowa, after being driven from Nauvoo. 500 men marched from the Midwest to San Diego. They pioneered the trail from Yuma to San Diego.
I had never considered the stories of the women who stayed behind. This movie will increase your appreciation of this history.
