1905. With numerous illustrations. Lewis writes in the
Introduction: Almost a half century ago, being in 1857, John Doyle
Lee, a chief among that red brotherhood, the Danites, was ordered
by Brigham Young and the leading counselors of the Mormon Church to
take his men and murder a party of emigrants then on their way
through Utah to California. The Mormon orders were to kill all who
can talk, and, in their carrying out, Lee and his Danites, with
certain Indians whom he had recruited in the name of scalps and
pillage, slaughtered over one hundred and twenty men, women and
children and left their stripped bodies to the elements and the
wolves. This wholesale murder was given the title of The Mountain
Meadow Massacre. Twenty years later, in 1877, the belated justice
of this Government seated Lee on his coffin, and shot him to death
for his crimes. In addition to writing about his life, Lee also
gives among other matters the story of the Church of Mormon from
its inception, when Joseph Smith pretended, with the aid of Urim
and Thummim, to translate the golden plates. Lewis then goes on to
allege that in the name of Mormon safety, Brigham Young, by money
and other agencies worked to have the book suppressed.
