The Mountain Meadows Massacre is the worst event in Mormon History. John D Lee was the only man convicted. For a century, the LDS Church has tried to cover up the terrible event. There is a game-changing book that sheds new light onthe prosecution of John D Lee, the only man convicted of the massacre. The authors conclude the massacre was covered up from the beginning, but was Brigham Young involved? “Vengeance is Mine” is the newest book on the event. Check out our conversation with Barbara Jones Brown & Richard Turley.
