In September of 1857 over 100 members of a wagon train were on their way to California. While in Utah they were ambushed and besieged by a combined force of Mormons and Paiute Natives. The end result would be the execution of 120 settlers, and a church-wide cover up. This is the story of the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
