Description:
Segment from "The World Report" October 2008Scholars are praising a new book that offers an in-depth look at one of the greatest tragedies in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The new book, Massacre at Mountain Meadows , published by Oxford University Press, is not a Church production but was co-authored by Mormon historians Ronald W. Walker, Richard E. Turley Jr. and Glen M. Leonard. The book sets out to comprehensively describe the relevant political and cultural context and to chronicle events leading up to and including the 1857 massacre, in which some 120 California-bound emigrants, most of them from Arkansas, were killed by Mormon settlers, aided by some Paiute Indians.In an attempt to understand and then to explain what led to this atrocity, the authors spent seven years perusing hundreds of letters, journals and other documents in Church archives and additional sources in many parts of the country. Much of their research led them to records found in the lower central states of the United States, the original home of the massacre victims.I think readers should be assured that we left no stone unturned in the writing of this book, Walker said.Walker, Turley and Leonard have produced a very detailed, insightful and balanced account, said Robert V. Remini, professor emeritus of history and the humanities at the University of Illinois, as noted on the books jacket. http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/e...© 2008 Intellectual Reserve, Inc.
