Additional Description: When members of the Mormon Battalion camped here, they noticed arrows & a newly-made mound. Upon opening it they found the mutilated bodies of their three friends. They reburied them, building a cairn to protect the grave. They also found Allen’s gold pouch, filled with gold dust & carried it to his widow in Iowa.
