women’s hair caught in sage bushes, children’s bones found in their mothers’ arms, and wolves picking at the bones. It was, he wrote, “a sight which can never be forgotten.” Carleton buried the remains and piled rocks into a monument topped by a wooden cross

This has to be incorrect. CC who is a descendant of John D lee posted something earlier about how they buried the remains and swore a blood oath over the grave.

(spin, rinse, repeat) I don’t think we will ever know all the details and I for one am grateful.

Gosh Delph, you really need to read some of these post about Mountain Meadows. The Mormon men hastily buried the dead in mass graves, of that you are correct.

The wolves and coyotes dug them up and scattered their remains because they weren’t given a PROPER burial.

Man... bud, get your head outa the sand. Try reading one thing. Take any single rendition of the Mountain Meadows Massacre by ANYBODY who is not LDS. Is the whole world “anti” to you?

Ever hear of shallow graves? The wolves dug them up and dismembered them. The link I posted from the trial of Lee and those that did the investigation has a lot of good information, but, of course, you need to actually read it.
