			They would have passed the milestones on the trail that later became commonplace landmarks: Fort Kearney, the South Fork of the Platte River, Chimney Rock, Fort Laramie, the Sweetwater River, Independence Rock, Devil's Gate, Green River, Fort Bridger, Bear River, and Weber River. After suffering the usual hardships of overland trail they would have arrived in the valley of the Great Salt Lake in late summer or early fall 1848.

	Later in 1858, after the peace accord between the Buchanan administration and Mormon officials, [[George_A._Smith\|George A.

According to the council minutes, those who found that the complaints against Dame were "without foundation" were the Mormon "general authorities," George A.

	In summer 1857, the Tenth Regiment was reorganized to improve its military readiness. In early August, reports from Salt Lake City brought news of that United States Army troops were approaching Utah Territory. Rumors also circulated that an army detachment was maneuvering to "invade" southern Utah. Colonel William H. Dame, 38, was the commanding officer of the Iron Military District. He oversaw military preparations in southern Utah, including harvesting and stockpiling foodstuffs, guarding inlets, surveying arms, obtaining munitions and drilling local militias. Dame also ordered scouting parties into the eastern mountains to encounter the army detachment thought to be approaching. But militia units from the 10th Regiment, or Iron Military District, were responsible for the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

			In 1857, the Iron Military District consisted of four battalions led by regimental commander [[William_H._Dame\|Col. William H. Dame.]] The platoons and companies in the first battalion drew on men in and around Parowan. (It had no involvement at Mountain Meadows.) [[Isaac_C._Haight\|Major Isaac Haight]] commanded the 2nd Battalion whose personnel in its many platoons and two companies came from Cedar City and outer-lying communities to the north such as Fort Johnson. [[John_M._Higbee\|Major John Higbee]] headed the 3rd Battalion whose many platoons and two companies were drawn from Cedar City and outer-lying communities to the southwest such as Fort Hamilton. [[John_D._Lee\|Major John D. Lee]] of Fort Harmony headed the 4th Battalion whose platoons and companies drew on its militia personnel from Fort Harmony, the Southerners at the newly-founded settlement in Washington, the Indian interpreters at Fort Clara, and the new settlers at Pinto.

	Events sparking the conflict between local Mormon settlers and the passing Arkansas emigrant company began in Cedar City. There was some explosive episode involving a few emigrant men and a few local settlers. What led to the exaggerated perception of events and response in Cedar City was the wild rumors that had circulated since mid-August that the approaching U.S. Army was sending a detachment to invade Utah through the backdoor -- an invasion through southern Utah. What cemented perceptions in Cedar City was when community leaders heard and accepted as true the rumor that the passing emigrants were in league with the U.S. Army detachment thought to be invading their valley over the Fremont Trail.

	In 1852, Dame settled near Red Creek (modern Paragonah) in Iron County. He also helped in surveying and laying out the new settlement at Cedar City in the same county. Cedar City was to become the headquarters of the newly-formed Iron Mission. In 1853-54, Indian unrest arising from the Walker War forced Dame and other settlers to abandon Red Creek and return to Parowan. In 1855, he and his family returned to Red Creek (Fort Paragoonah) where stronger fortifications were built under his supervision. Early the next year, Dame returned to Parowan and became the second president of the Parowan stake, a position which he held until 1880. Contemporaneously, Dame was a colonel in the militia and commander of the Tenth Regiment, or Iron Military District (the official designations of the Iron County militia). He was also a member of Utah’s territorial legislative assembly for three successive terms, 1854-56.<br>		In 1852, Dame settled near Red Creek (modern Paragonah) in Iron County.
