Book Reviews of Massacre at Mountain Meadows
Book Review: A New, Painstaking Account of the Mountain Meadows Massacre
Summary: 4 Stars
In "Massacre," three professional historians (who are also Mormons) take a hard, objective look at the circumstances which led to the Mountain Meadows massacre, one of the most infamous events of pre-Civil War Western history. While making no excuses for what occurred, the authors do a good job of illustrating how past mistreatment of Mormons prior to their emigration to Utah led to the growth of a paranoid, embattled mindset that was an extremely important factor in the resulting atrocity. This is a well-written work of non-fiction (especially in light of the fact that it is a collaborative work by three authors) that destroys a number of myths about the massacre.
