I've started a new multi-part series on The Mountain Meadows Massacre with historian, author, director of Signature Books, content editor of the award-winning "Massacre at Mountain Meadows" and co-author of "Vengeance Is Mine, The Mountain Meadows Massacre and Its Aftermath" Barbara Jones Brown.
This is part three where Barbara and I discuss the Mountain Meadows Massacre, a tragic event in Mormon history where a group of Mormons in 1857 killed a large group of innocent men, women, and children. Practice self-care, grab a box of tissues, and buckle up for the horrifying story of the Mountain Meadows Massacre as we delve into the tragic events that unfolded on September 11th, 1857. Barbara brings to light the complex and heart-wrenching story of this massacre for listeners with a complete murder-by-murder breakdown for you as you break down. With Barbara's dedication to researching this massacre, giving a voice to the defenseless victims, and her heartfelt storytelling, you'll leave this episode rocked to your very core.
We also touch on Barbara's personal journey of uncovering her ancestral connection to this dark chapter in Mormon history. Join us in honoring the memory of the victims and exploring the significant lessons this incident holds for us today. Don't forget to share your thoughts and subscribe for deeper historical explorations on Mormon history.
