#OnThisDate September 11, 1857 - A Tragic Encounter
The Mountain Meadows Massacre, One Of The Darkest Moments In American History, Occurred Near Cedar City, Utah.
During The Utah War, Tensions Escalated Between Mormon Settlers And The U.S. Government.
The Baker-Fancher Party, A California-Bound Emigrant Wagon Train Primarily From Arkansas, Crossed Through Southern Utah At A Time Of Heightened Hostility.
Local Militia Members Of The Mormon Nauvoo Legion, Aided By Paiute Indians, Attacked The Settlers After A Five-Day Siege, Resulting In The Brutal Deaths Of Approximately 120 Men, Women, And Children.
Only 17 Young Children Were Spared.
This Massacre, Fueled By Fears Of Persecution And Misunderstandings, Was Sanctioned By Local Leaders, Although The Full Extent Of Involvement By Higher Authorities Like Brigham Young Remains Debated.
Twenty Years Later, Militia Leader John D. Lee Was Executed For His Role In The Massacre, Marking The End Of This Tragic Chapter​​.
