American Massacre: The Tragedy at Mountain Meadows, September 1857
To be honest - if I didn't hate to put down a book once started so badly, I probably would have quit reading within the first 100 pages. While towards the end of the book, Sally Denton's depiction of events began like true historical non-fiction, the vast majority of her writing was very obviously tainted by a strong distaste for Mormonism. I'm not a Mormon, and while I live in Utah, am neither a defender of accuser of the religion. Ms. Denton, very obviously sways strongly in one direction. Much of her information is tainted by a venom rarely experienced in books packaged as a study of fact.
For a much better, and more balanced book on this horrible event in US and Utah history - I'd recommend Juanita Brooks' "The Mountain Meadows Massacre".
