During the Autumn of 1857, in a remote region of what is now Southern Utah, acts of great treachery were committed against innocent people. The loss of life was staggering and unprecedented in American history. Evidence shows the responsible parties to be from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, including the Prophet Brigham Young. This story strives to honor the historical record. Motives were understandable but unjustifiable. They feared persecution. They sought vengeance, retribution and opportunity to build up their empire. Their objective was to strike terror into the hearts of all Americans by striking people who had done them no harm. Though few would describe it so today, the LDS Theocracy of 1857 was a very dangerous Church. Once executed, the crime was so reprehensible even the perpetrators knew they had gone too far. Such an act could only result in an infuriated retaliation... but only if the truth of it came to light. Those complicit must be silenced, even if more crimes would be required. For 150 years the forces of darkness and light have warred over revealing the secrets of this dreadful transgression. After 43 years of researching the evidence, this author presents a new look at the Mountain Meadows Massacre as the events most likely transpired with the actual people who lived at that place at that time. Where the record is unsettled, the author's best approximations have been inserted. A few new theories are advanced, but always with historical basis. It is hoped that this book will elicit corroboration, and challenges, to these theories. To become involved, log onto www.whiteflagbook.com
