mountain meadows massacre
The Mountain Meadows Massacre occurred on September 11, 1857, in southern Utah when a Mormon militia, aided by some Paiute Native Americans, attacked and killed approximately 120 men, women, and children in a California-bound wagon train. Only young children were spared. The massacre was covered up for years, with blame initially placed solely on Native Americans. Church involvement and Brigham Young's possible knowledge remain debated, though evidence suggests significant local church leadership participation.
