Description: This book delves into the life and confessions of John D. Lee, a prominent figure in the Mormon Church who was executed for his role in the Mountain Meadows Massacre. The author, having served as Lee's attorney, provides a unique and intimate perspective on this dark chapter in American history, detailing the events leading up to the massacre, the motivations behind it, and the role of the Mormon leadership in perpetuating it. The book also provides a glimpse into the inner workings of the Mormon Church, its doctrines, and the complex web of power and influence wielded by Brigham Young, the church's leader. The author's insights into the nature of religious fanaticism and its potential for violence, along with his critique of the Mormon leadership, offer a compelling and historically significant account of one of the most disturbing episodes in the history of the American West.
