The Mountain Meadows Massacre resulted in the brutal deaths of over 120 men, women, and children from the Baker-Fancher Party—killed by Mormon militia and their Native American allies under the guise of a false truce. In this episode, we uncover the hidden truths, cover-ups, and the role of LDS leaders like Brigham Young in the events that led to this tragedy. We’ll explore the motivations behind the massacre, the deceptive tactics used, and how the Church tried to shift the blame for over a century.
