1858 Utah War.

     ‘On ascertaining the locality or route of the troops, proceed at once to annoy them in every possible way. Use every exertion to stampede their animals and set fire to their trains. Burn the whole country before them and on their flanks. Keep them from sleeping, by night surprises; blockade the road by felling trees or destroying the river fords where ye can. Watch for opportunities to set fire to the grass on their windward, so as, if possible, to envelop their trains. Leave no grass before them that can be burned. Keep your men concealed as much as possible, and guard against surprise.’ Wikipedia.  Saints’ strategy was the same as Scottish defense from invaders, hinder and weaken and annoy, and withdraw to the mountains, and let the winter snows do the rest. A strategy which worked for several thousand years, from about 500 B.C. to 1560.
