Summary

The massacre at Mountain Meadows on September 11, 1857, was the single most violent attack on a wagon train in the thirty-year history of the Oregon and California trails. Yet it has been all but forgotten. Will Bagley's Blood of the Prophetsis the most extensive investigation of the events surrounding the murder of some 120 men, women, and children since Juanita Brooks published her groundbreaking study, The Mountain Meadows Massacre, in 1950. Drawing from a wealth of primary sources, Bagley explains how the murders occurred, reveals the involvement of territorial governor Brigham Young, and explores the subsequent suppression and distortion of events related to the massacre. Blood of the Prophetsis the winner of numerous awards, including: Spur Award, Western Writers of America Caughey Book Prize, Western History Association Caroline Bancroft History Prize, Denver Public Library Co-Founders Best Book Award, Westerners International
