Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"An exhaustive, meticulously documented, highly readable history that captures the events and atmosphere that gave rise to the massacre, as well as its long, tortuous aftermath."--The New York Review of Books
"While the word 'definitive' is often overused, this account of the killings merits that distinction. Bagley's book ranks as a Mormon historical classic."--Brigham D. Madsen, Western Historical Quarterly
"A reflective and well-researched history of Mormonism's darkest hour."--Publishers Weekly "A new standard work on the massacre."--Library Journal "A major contribution to western American history."--Robert M. Utley
