"Published by Oxford University Press in 2008, Massacre at Mountain Meadows relied on new and exhaustive research to tell the story of one of the grimmest episodes in Latter-day Saint history. On September 11, 1857, southern Utah settlers slaughtered more than 100 emigrants of a California-bound wagon train. In this much-anticipated sequel, Richard E. Turley Jr. and Barbara Jones Brown follow up that volume with an examination of the aftermath of the atrocity. In greater detail than ever before, Vengeance Is Mine documents southern Utah leaders' attempts to cover up their crime by silencing witnesses and spreading lies about the victims and perpetrators of the crime. Investigations by both governmental and church bodies were stymied by stonewalling and political wrangling. While nine men were eventually indicted, five were captured and only one, John D. Lee, was executed. The book examines the maneuvering of the defense and prosecution in Lee's two trials, the second ending in Lee's conviction. The book examines the fraught relationship between Lee and church president Brigham Young, including what Young knew of the crime and when he knew it. The book also tells the story of the seventeen young children who survived the massacre and their later return to Arkansas, from where the ill-fated wagon train originated. The book traces the fate of the perpetrators to the end of their lives, including the harrowing demise of Nephi Johnson, who screamed, "Blood! Blood! Blood!" in the delirium of his death bed more than sixty years after the massacre"--

"I was born into the Frederick A. Moore Family, in November, 1932…already in progress. I had four older rothers and later one younger. My father was born in 1896, in the small town of Blackrock, just East of Hwy. 395, across from, the now, Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery…The little town of Blackrock does not exist today. The Moore families, before 1896 and later… had settled in the surrounding towns of Independence, Bishop, Keeler, and Lone Pine, California. My father grew up in Lone Pine acquiring long time friendships with many families of the 1900’s, in which today I still keep in contact with: The Cook’s, The Lasky’s, The Spainhower’s, Chrysler’s & Lacey’s. I am the last survivor on my immediate ‘Moore’ family. In my book I touch on my family and town history. How my Dad met my Mother…their first home, The Mary Austin House…possibly the first movie made in the Alabama Hills, The Roundup, 1920. The early Chrysler-Cook, Mt. Whitney Pack Trains, in which my father was a guide in the summer months…Our many adventures in the Whitney Portals, that not many children ever get to experience! Plus, our life during WWII on a ranch in the Alabama Hills.”—cover.
