A view of the 1932 monument near the site of the 1863 Bear River Massacre.
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Erected near the site of the 1863 Bear River Massacre, this monument was dedicated on September 5, 1932. Known as the "Battle Creek" monument at one time, it was built before history acknowledged the incident as a massacre. The marker was constructed of nearly 400 rocks (collected from many different localities) and its top features a teepee. This view shows the north and west sides of the monument.
A 1932 plaque, titled "The Battle of Bear River," is attached to the monument's east side and tells an antiquated story of the massacre. This plaque indicates the monument was the work of the Franklin County Chapter of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, the Cache Valley Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and the Utah Pioneer Trails and Landmarks Association. In 1953, the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers added a second plaque, this one located on the west side, honoring nearby Latter-day Saint women who cared for injured soldiers. A third plaque, on the monument's north side, indicates the site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990. |
