Mountain Meadows Massacre

One of the ugliest parts of Mormon history - the Mountain Meadows Massacre - will be our next topic. Because of the nature of this cold-blooded massacre of men, women, and children on 11 September 1857; some preliminary historical explanations need to be done in order to put this tragedy in context.

Over the course of several posts I will address this horrific crime with a promise to tell the whole story. We will also address some of the criticisms of the Church over this event in what will probably be 3 or 4 different posts. Stay tuned!
