To me the question that this happened is not under discussion. The real question is whether or not we should look at history through the window of a fictionalized movie.
I am a descendant of John D. Lee. I don’t think anyone should tell me how to “look” at it. I’ve lived with it all my life.
I tended his grave as a child. My grandmother worked to have the LDS Church reinstate his membership. Even though he was to blame for his part in the massacre, to this day, the LDS Church allows him to take the entire blame. They laid it all upon one man....I personally think it is cowardly and disgusting, and it’s about time someone looked at this deed, even if it takes a fictionalized movie to bring it to the fore.
