Lot Smith
Lot Smith (May 15, 1830 – June 21, 1892) was a Mormon pioneer, soldier, lawman and American frontiersman. He is most famous for his exploits during the Utah War. == Background == Born in 1830 in Williamstown, Oswego County, New York, he became known as "The Horseman" for his exceptional skills on horseback as well as for his help in rounding up wild mustangs on Utah's Antelope Island. At sixteen, Smith joined the Mormon Battalion and served during the Mexican-American War making a journey, touted as the longest infantry march in history, from Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas through the southwest to San Diego, where the group was mustered out of service. Other members of the Mormon Battalion worked at Sutter's Mill and discovered gold. Smith amassed a quantity of gold then came back across the mountains to the Great Salt Lake and Farmington, Utah, where he became a military leader in the Nauvoo Legion in Utah and was distinguished in campaigns to stop Indian depredations. Smith practiced the Latter-day Saint doctrine of plural marriage, and had eight wives and 52 children.
