In July 1846, the Battalion recruits departed from Council Bluffs, Iowa Territory, for Fort Leavenworth in present-day Kansas. During the Battalion's service in 1846-1848, it undertook a historic trek from Iowa to California. Their arrival coincided with the outbreak of the Mexican-American War and they helped secure California for the United States. In 1848, several Mormon Battalion veterans discovered gold on the American River while working for John Marshall at Sutter's Mill. This sparked the Gold Rush of 1849. In 1850, the new state of California would be admitted to the Union.		That summer, Nowlin was among those recruited into the "Mormon Battalion" of the U.S. Army.
