Millennial Star posted a summary of remarks on the Mountain Meadows Massacre ("MM") by historian Thomas Alexander at this year's Leonard J. Arrington Lecture at the USU. Alexander's lecture (and the M-Star post) highlighted several investigations of MM conducted by LDS leaders themselves. Here are links to a few prior posts of interest related to Mountain Meadows:
- Reflections on Mountain Meadows (comments on my own visit to the site, with links to readable images of two of the plaques erected at various memorials at the site).
- Let the Past Be Reopened (comments by Justin summarizing twelve key points about MM made by historian Ron Walker at the MHA conference in May 2006. Walker is the author of the highly anticipated but ever-forthcoming book about MM).
- Mountain Meadows in the Supreme Court (Nate Oman's notes on a 1914 US Supreme Court case brought by the estate of one of the victims of MM under the Indian Depredation Act of 1891).
- Yauguts (Steve Evans juxtaposes the events of 9/11/2001 and 9/11/1857),
Did I miss any?
I wrote a post on a MHA paper by Richard Turley here.
