The Mountain Meadows Massacre / by Juanita Brooks ; foreword and afterword by Jan Shipps.
In September 1857, one of the worst atrocities in the history of the westward movement occurred when the Fancher Company was massacred with the exception of approximately eighteen small children.

Mrs. Brooks, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, has done the most definitive study of the massacre and has been completely objective throughout.
