Well done, Dan. Thank you for a concise summary. Having visited with Latter-day Saints all over the world, I have yet to come across "a cadaverous visage; greenish-colored eyes; thick, protuberant lips; or the low forehead" among them. Obviously, spin commentary was alive and well in the 1800s.

I have always wondered why when the mountain meadows massacre is brought up that their is not the same fervor for the haun's mill massacre or the mistreatment and persecution of the saints in Missouri or Illinois. These people were Americans and were protected by the same constitutional rights as anyone else including freedom of worship. Tell me has the states of Missouri and Illinois erected monuments to remember the saints' mistreatment at their hands. I'm just saying.
