    Join a panel of prominent scholars for a critique and discussion of the new book, Massacre at Mountain Meadows, by Ronald W. Walker, Richard E. Turley, Jr., and Glen M. Leonard. It is fair to say that the Mountain Meadows Massacre is one of the Intermountain West's darkest hours. It represents the single most violent incident in the history of America's overland migration, most noteworthy because it involved white settlers killing other white settlers in transit. The incident is even more firmly anchored to the Intermountain West through its relationship to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The panel will not only explore the various aspects of the massacre, but more importantly it will evaluate this scholarly attempt to understand the massacre.
