Summary: Lee's words twisted...
Comment: It is important to remember when reading this version of John D. Lee's writings that his words were manipulated by the editor to convey an anti-Mormon message. Lee NEVER turned his back on his religion, nor did he ever point the finger at Brigham Young for the massacre (whether Young ordered it or not.) He was angry with Young when he died - he felt betrayed and rightly so and he did speak and write angry words regarding Young. But Lee actually REFUSED an opportunity to go free if he would agree to implicate Young and speak out against the church. He refused and was executed. He was a faithful Mormon to the end. This book is availible in it's more pure form under the title "The Writings of John D. Lee." - His diaries were also recently republished under the title "A Mormon Chronicle" - read these books for a more complete picture. --------- I am a Lee descendant.

Summary: An American Tragedy
Comment: The Mountain Meadows massacre is one of those events in history that is too large for partisanship. John Lee and what happened to him is no more, no less a matter worth understanding than Mountain Meadows. Here is a book that comes as nearly as any is likely to ever approach to help students of history and the human condition grasp how abysmal that condition can become. John Lee was a good man who found himself killing men, women and children in cold blood. Anything to help humans understand how he came to do this is worth the read. Certain similar massacres of Vietnamese civilians by US troops, the Cambodian killing fields, the Nazi concentration camps and Spanish Inquisition are a single facet of humanity painful to examine. But we all need to examine them. This book is a good place to begin.

Summary: Not at all realistic
Comment: I am a very devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints(mormons). I know that the formation of Utah was aided by god for my ancestors to settle there and this book is an exageration and a byest opinion
