The Mountain Meadows Massacre is a non-fiction book written by Juanita Brooks. The book is a detailed account of the events leading up to and the aftermath of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, which occurred on September 11, 1857, in southern Utah. The massacre was a brutal attack on a wagon train of emigrants from Arkansas, who were traveling through Utah on their way to California. The emigrants were ambushed by a group of Mormon settlers and Native Americans, resulting in the deaths of 120 men, women, and children. Brooks meticulously researched the events leading up to the massacre, including the tensions between the Mormons and the federal government, the role of Brigham Young in the massacre, and the motivations of the Mormon settlers involved. She also provides a detailed account of the massacre itself, including the methods used by the attackers and the aftermath of the attack. The book is considered a seminal work on the Mountain Meadows Massacre and is often cited as a primary source on the subject. Brooks' research and writing have been praised for their accuracy and attention to detail, and the book remains a valuable resource for historians and scholars studying the massacre and its impact on Utah and American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This was a well researched book. Having known Juanita Brooks, the author, I know how many days and nights she was away from home doing her research in several States. This is a true story. It is easy to read with details well discribed. The territory well is discribed. One feels like they have lived the events after reading about it.
