The Mountain Meadows Massacre (1950) by Juanita Brooks was the first definitive study of the Mountain Meadows Massacre.[1]
Juanita Brooks, a Mormon historian trained in historical methods,[2] was discouraged from studying the incident,[3] and she suffered some ostracism from fellow Mormons after its publication.[4] Her work was acclaimed by historians, however, leading to her recognition as an exemplary historian of the American West and Mormonism. Her account of the massacre was eventually accepted by the Mormon leadership.
