Of course there will be an accurate rendering of the Muntain Meadows massacre where Brigham oung ordered the murders of 120 unarmed men women and children and babes in arms who were under a flag of truce, and kiddnapped several children 7 and under and held them captive in starvation, want and squallor for two years before the US Army made them give them back...

And brigham young stolle the wagons, horses and cattle, and other belongings and money of his victims and never returned any of it...Even the bloody clothes on the bodies of his victims was stripped from their dead bodies..

Then Brigham Young left the bodies of his victims out on the prairee for two years and animals ate their flesh and scattered the bones...until the US Army, (again) buried their bones etc..and placed a memorial over the huge common grave..

after which Brigham young ordered the memorial pulled down, and the grave destroyed and desecrated...

***Even the bloody clothes on the bodies of his victims was stripped from their dead bodies..***

I read a history by a Mountain Man (I wish I could remember his name) who was a scout for the US Army when they retrieved the children from the Mormons.

He said only firm discipline by the officers prevented the soldiers from lynching every Mormon they could find. the Cedar City Stake house still stank like a slaughter house two years after the massacre because that is wher the bloody unwashed clothing was stored.

The Mountain man later converted to Mormonism but had to flee Salt Lake for his life when he was seen talking with a non-mormon woman about the errors of Mormonism.
