 "Camp Floyd, UT, Jan 14". Manuscript postmark with matching manuscript cross-hatch cancelling 3¢ dull red (11A), rich color, on cover from the Porter correspondence to New York City, Very
Fine and choice Utah Territorial use, ex-Risvold.
Estimate; $500 - 750.
On 9 November 1858, amid gun fire and patriotic music, the soldiers of Camp Floyd, Utah Territory, raised the United States flag above their newly
completed garrison. Named for Secretary of War, John B. Floyd, the post housed the largest concentration of U.S. troops to that time, in what immediately became the third largest city in Utah. Camp Floyd was a product of the so-called ""Utah War.""
Influenced by rumors of rebellion in Utah, President James Buchanan ordered 2,500 soldiers led by Colonel Albert Sidney Johnston to Utah. After a short stay at the north end of the valley, Johnston moved his men across a creek from present-day
Fairfield where soldiers, aided by Mormon laborers and artisans, built Camp Floyd. By December of 1858 Camp Floyd had its own post office using a manuscript postmark. (Image1)
