Question:

Is an unbiased treatment of the Mountain Meadows Massacre possible?

Seems there's to be a new movie about Mountain Meadows.

I searched Q/A for what's been said about the event and found this:

Seems there's a determination on the part of the hmmm Christian? Gentile? community to take it as an isolated event trapped in a span of time of a month or less.

Meanwhile, Mormons have squirmed and locked it down with secrecy since 1857.

The massacre can't be understood without an understanding of the horrid sufferings by Mormons at the hands of Christians for a couple of decades.

It also can't be defended, in any sense.

But Mormons are already battening down the hatches for another attempt at cover-up, while Mormon-haters are savoring it as another excuse for their favorite hatred.

Mountain Meadows is the work of men long-dead. So are the events leading to it.

I wonder if either of the two will ever get justice?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes it is possible. Check out the book by McGlashen "Give Me a Mountain Meadow" ... he gave a VERY fair approach to the issue
