Summary
The massacre at Mountain Meadows on September 11, 1857, was the single most violent attack on a wagon train in the 30-year history of the Oregon and California trails. Yet it has been all but forgotten. Will Bagley's Blood of the Prophets is an award-winning, riveting account of the attack on the Baker-Fancher wagon train by Mormons in the local militia and a few Paiute Indians. Based on extensive investigation of the events surrounding the murder of over 120 men, women, and children, and drawing from a wealth of primary sources, Bagley explains how the murders occurred, reveals the involvement of territorial governor Brigham Young, and explores the subsequent suppression and distortion of events related to the massacre by the Mormon Church and others.

Fascinating analysis of a concealed atrocity
A harrowing but timely reminder of the ever present dangers of zealotry, bigotry and arrogance. Mr Bailey has done AN important service for the USA and the world in presenting this harrowing event and it's continuing resonance. A catalogue of "fake news" and "alternative facts" from 9 / 11 (1857) laid bare for all to shudder at.

I don't like being shouted at !
I have only listened to half an hour of this and I can't take any more. I don't mind being talked to, but I won't take being lectured at in a hectoring voice for 20 hours. I will be returning the book and buying something I can listen to without feeling bruised.
