“Did Brigham Young order the Mountain Meadows Massacre?”

This question, asked by historians Juanita Brooks and Will Bagley, is also asked by Richard E. Turley and Barbara Jones Brown, co-authors of the new book “Vengeance is Mine: The Mountain Meadows Massacre and its Aftermath.” Turley and Brown look at the aftermath of the massacre to ask what really happened and who was responsible. They join us again at noon to pick up where we left off and discuss why it’s important to shine light on this history.

The authors will be signing books at Ken Sanders Rare Books at the Leonardo on Wednesday, August 16th at 6:30 p.m.
