About This Item
Arthur H Clark, 1996. hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 6x1x9. Jacket has light wear, binding sound, internally clean. Documented by trial transcripts, letters, journals, and diaries, Backus describes the events leading to the Mountain Meadows Massacre from the vantage point of her great-grandfather Philip Kingensmith who was a participant. An American tale as much as a Mormon one, the details of the massacre and its cover up (the men involved tried to blame the killing on Indians) are shocking only 13 children survived of a company of over 200 emigrants. It is a tale of Mormon church politics, racism, greed, and one man's lifetime of attempted atonement.
