One hundred fifty years ago, a glorious September morning in the Utah mountains turned into Mormonism's darkest hour when a skittish militia opened fire on a wagon train, leaving more than 120 men, women and children dead in a flowery field.
Now the "Mountain Meadows Massacre" is becoming more than a subject of reflection within Mormon circles. Two new films and a forthcoming book aim to tell the nation what happened, why and, perhaps most important, whether the revered Mormon prophet Brigham Young ordered the killing.
This is an interesting bit of American History that is often overlooked in today's textbooks. I'll be honest I don't know much about it, other then it happened. I am looking forward to doing some research and learning more.
