Three members of the Mormon Battalion are buried at Tragedy Spring, a once peaceful spot high in the Sierras. Marked a historic site, it has been visited by many who remember the Battalion and its impact on the history of California and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In recent years, Tragedy Spring has fallen victim to sad events -- a windstorm in 2020 that brought down large trees at the site, and the Caldor fire, which burned through the area in 2021. Whether it can be restored to its former beauty is an open question. KSL Newsradio's Dan Bammes talks to historians and volunteers to share the journey -- the past and the potential future of Tragedy Spring. Produced by: Angel Peatross.
