For those of you who may not know about it the Mountain Meadow Massacres happens to be one of the Darker events in Mormon history.
Here is a link that is well worth the time to read....I have read a few books about the event and my feeling is that this account has been somewhat edited to be shall I say "Mormon-friendly". I have read many accounts that point directly to Brigham Young being the one who gave orders to befriend the wagon train and guide them to the location where they could be easily attacked and robbed of their very valuable cattle........is event was hidden and almost lost, but once it resurfaced and a book became popular the Mormon community has now admitted (somewhat....to the event).
