I
found a church history book at devins parents house that was really old
and it had a whole chapter on it. It was basicly what you said except
it seemed a little more to me like the indians had planned it out and
told brigham young and he told them to do what they want but that the
church members were to stay out of it. Shortly after that he got the
messanger from cedar city and president young told him (the messanger)
the same thing, except that they were to leave the imigrant trains un
harmed unless it was self defence. and when the messanger got to ceadar
city delivered the Prophets message they screamed in agony "its too
late!" It then says that the indians planned the attack and anniciated
it but once it had begun a group of brethren joined in. mostly out of
fear and anxiety, how ever those men were still wrong and were held
responsible by the church for the rest of their days, and God would be
their judge. I believe that the members of the church and the Indains
and any others who took part in that are all equally guilty. And that
it is the same as if say the trolly square shooter was a member of the
church or any other murderer. The church is perfect, but the members
are not, and each member makes his and her own decisions.My actions are
not president Hinkleys fault. Those are my views.
