About this listen

In the aftermath of the Mountain Meadows Massacre of 1857, the violence faded from view...but the consequences did not.

In Part III, we examine what followed the destruction of the Baker–Fancher party in southern Utah Territory. Tracing the fate of the surviving children, the immediate efforts to manage the massacre narrative, and the long delay before accountability was pursued.

This final chapter focuses on the aftermath of the massacre...how it was remembered, how it was concealed, and how its legacy continued to surface long after 1857.
