(Paperback)
One of the boldest and most important books ever written on the Mormons...excellently researched and excellently written.
In September 1857, over 100 emigrants, including many women and children, were brutally ambushed and murdered in a peaceful meadow in southern Utah. In Massacre at Mountain Meadows , William Wise presents convincing evidence that the Mormon Church, including President Brigham Young, who was the prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, orchestrated these murders.The Mountain Meadows Massacre is one of Mormonism's most infamous stories, and one which members have steered clear of for years. Wise has reconstructed, in this fascinating if gruesome book, one of the most shocking incidents in the annals of the American West.
