The National Staff and Ladies Auxiliary proudly announce the publication of our new DATABASE OF THE MORMON BATTALION. This new, up-dated Database is the product of much labor by our Memorializations Officer, Major Carl Larson. Using the latest techniques in computerizing the material, Major Larson has put together what will be the definitive collection of data on the men and women of the Battalion. Taking advantage of more recent research and his own fact-finding techniques, Major Larson has brought our first edition up-to-date in a very scholarly manner. Working on a commission basis, he has added a great asset to our use of this historical material. The Battalion has donated one copy to the Family History Library, and they are planning to put it on CD, to make it available to all Family History Centers throughout the world. When it was delivered to the Library Staff, it created such an interest that it became evident that many of the researchers and staff members are intending to use it immediately. We congratulate Major Larson on this outstanding production of this valuable research tool! The suggested donation is $30 for this second edition.
