Woodside

Woodside, Utah was the initial staging area for the U.S. Army in 1941 when the Mormons rose once again. The Army established a tent city to allow it to concentrate its forces prior to advancing deeper into Utah.

Armstrong Grimes exited his train here when his regiment was sent west to help put down the rebellion. He and his squad mates bivouacked in one of the many tents. The day after his arrival, the Mormons showed they had rudimentary airpower by dropping a crate filled with explosives and tenpenny nails from a biplane crop-duster.
