Summary "Narrative of the March of Co. A, Engineers from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to Fort Bridger, Utah, and Return" by William P. Seville is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book documents the expedition of Company A of the United States Engineers from Fort Leavenworth to Utah during the spring and summer of 1858, outlining their military undertaking amidst notable tensions with the Mormon community in the region. The narrative is likely aimed at providing insight into the experiences of the engineers and the challenges they faced while traversing the vast and often inhospitable Western landscape. The opening of the narrative introduces the context of the march, detailing the selection of soldiers and the logistical preparations taking place at Fort Leavenworth before embarking on their mission. It highlights the excitement and optimism within the company as they set out on their lengthy journey into uncharted territory, emphasizing their military readiness and camaraderie through anecdotes of camping and travel. As the march progresses, they encounter various natural challenges, including difficult terrain and weather conditions, while also reflecting on their interactions with the indigenous inhabitants and the changing landscape. This engaging blend of personal experience and historical detail sets the stage for a captivating account of military engineering and adventure in the American West.
