Blood of the Prophets: Brigham Young and the Massacre at Mountain Meadows

10 Questions and Answers on Mormonism

Independent historian and Salt Lake Tribune columnist Will Bagley presents some new and fascinating source material regarding the murders of 120 men, women, and children by the hands of Mormons and Indians at the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857. Until Blood of the Prophets, Mormon historian Juanita Brooks' tome (The Mountain Meadows Massacre) has been the definitive work on the subject. He discusses the struggle she had with LDS leaders during her research and includes information that was not available to Brooks during the 1950s. In doing so, Bagley confirms her private opinion that Brigham Young, the territorial governor and Mormon leader, was heavily involved in both the massacre and its 20-year cover-up.
