I think it's sad that the movie appears to be crap (poor filmaking and lack of historical authenticity). The story of Mountain Meadows deserves better than this. I'm hopeful that the upcoming book will totally and honestly deal with what actually happened. It would be in the churches best interest to expose any misdeeds that went beyond John D. Lee, both in the events leading up to the massacre and in any subsequent attempts to cover up the facts. It is also sad that those opposed to the church will never accept any version of history that comes from LDS scholars.
Perhaps that is why the LDS Church should open its archives to an independant scholarly committee. Wouldn't that be more appropriate?
Dang!
I wonder why?
Would these be the same scholars that explain why there seems to be NO archeological evidence of the things that are in the BoM?
