Description: You are considering a hard back book, with DJ, MASSACRE AT MOUNTAIN MEADOWS by Ronald W. Walker, Richard E. Turley Jr., and Glen M. Leonard; PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press; 2008 printing; 430 pages. On September 11, 1857, a band of MORMON militia lured an unarmed emigrant party and killed over 120 adults. Massacre at Mountain Meadows offers the most thoroughly researched account of the massacre ever written. Drawn from documents previously notavailable to scholars and a careful rereading of traditional sources, this gripping narrative offers fascinating new insight into why Mormon 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. CONDITION: No known damage to book.
