Drawn from documents previously not available to scholars and a careful re-reading of traditional sources, this gripping narrative offers fascinating new insight into why Mormons settlers in isolated southern Utah deceived the emigrant party with a promise of safety and then killed the adults and all but seventeen of the youngest children. The book sheds light on factors contributing to the tragic event, including the war hysteria that overcame the Mormons after President James Buchanan dispatched federal troops to Utah Territory to put down a supposed rebellion, the suspicion and conflicts that polarized the perpetrators and victims, and the reminders of attacks on Mormons in earlier settlements in Missouri and Illinois. It also analyzes the influence of Brigham Young's rhetoric and military strategy during the infamous "Utah War" and the role of local Mormon militia leaders in enticing Paiute Indians to join in the attack. Throughout the book, the authors paint finely drawn portraits of the key players in the drama, their backgrounds, personalities, and roles in the unfolding story of misunderstanding, misinformation, indecision, and personal vendettas.
The Mountain Meadows Massacre stands as one of the darkest events in Mormon history. Neither a whitewash nor an expose, Massacre at Mountain Meadows provides the clearest and most accurate account of a key event in American religious history.]]> 5894 3.95 249 142 611172 4.04 251 153 643461 3.93 251 142 2008 1280015 0252072839 9780252072833 6 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1280015.Great_Basin_Kingdom_An_Economic_History_of_the_Latter_day_Saints_1830_1900_New_Edition 3.53 19 5895 3.94 368 100 5894 3.95 249 142 1958 1244975 0842525505 9780842525503 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1251136187m/1244975.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1251136187s/1244975.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1244975.Qualities_That_Count_Heber_J_Grant_As_Businessman_Missionary_and_Apostle 3.86 7 5894 3.95 249 142 2003 2318852 0252067053 9780252067051 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2318852.Wayward_Saints_THE_GODBEITES_AND_BRIGHAM_YOUNG 4.67 3 5894 3.95 249 142 1998 6572983 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6572983-massacre-at-mountain-meadows 0.0 0 Massacre at Mountain Meadows offers the most thoroughly researched account of the massacre ever written.
