About this listen
In early September 1857, the Baker–Fancher party found themselves trapped in a remote mountain valley in southern Utah, under siege and running out of options. What had begun as suspicion and rumor had now turned deadly.
In Part II, we follow the final days at Mountain Meadows... the failed negotiations, the desperate decisions, and the massacre itself. We examine how fear, obedience, and silence shaped the choices made by local Mormon leaders and militia men, and what happened in the immediate aftermath as survivors were scattered, and the truth was buried.
See why there is a long shadow cast over the American West from this incident.
