Daniel Tyler has a remarkable history from knowing Joseph Smith and enduring all the church persecutions in Kirtland, Missouri, and Nauvoo. Daniel chose to join the Mormon battalion and march the distance and then return to Florence, Nebraska to get his wife Ruth Welton. Daniel is the author of the Concise History of the Mormon Battalion Experience. He fulfilled a mission to Europe and was called as mission president of the Italian / Swiss mission. Daniel returned with the saints from England and combined with the struggles of the Martin Handcart company. Daniel is called to leave Salt Lake again for the Cotton Mission in southern Utah. Daniel was the first school teacher at Pine valley and then called to the "Muddy Mission" but returned to Beaver due to health problems. In Beaver he served as a patriarch and ran a newspaper. It was 36 years after the Mormon battalion that the prophet asked him to compile the history of those brave men.
