***”The church has owned the monument site at Mountain Meadows for many years.***
Does the State of Utah have this site on their Utah road maps yet?
Are you aware that TWO other wagon trains were also attacked? The Shepherd Train and the Miltmore train. Both suffered loss of life in those attacks and the people said the attackers were white men dressed as Indians.
Do you know that local mormons considered the Mountain Meadows site haunted for many years.
Fancher owned 200 acres of property here in Arkansas about two miles south of me.
I was not aware of of the other two other wagon trains attacked. Thanks. I will have to research this.
I was aware, however, that Brigham Young ordered the desecration of the cross atop of the original cairn marking the gravesite of the massacre’s Christian victims, and that despite numerous requests the LDS has refused to restore this Christian symbol over the grave of the Christian martyrs massacred by Mormons during this slaughter.
