Should there be any additions to this roster, they would require proper documentation. No less
then two primary sources are required for these additions.
To the best of my knowledge, this roster of the Mormon Battalion is accurate down to two
names; there were only two names on all of the many rosters which have been compiled over the
years that could not be confirmed.
