Again, after seeing the PBS series, I'd guess an Arkansan resisted and that what happened was a complete aberration. If not there'd be countless examples of missing wagon trains, instead of the countless helped by the church. Sadly, your version of anti-semitism has become your identity and it is a stark reminder of the protestant mobs who first burned mormons alive, like witches. The truth is Brigham Young is no more responsible for his stepsons actions than Billy Graham would be for his.

Lets use your logic on Joe Smith:: We Are All Done! Beadle:: "5 Yrs in the Territories", Life in Utah, Mys of M'ism", "Western Wilds and the Men who Redeem Them". I Own ALL them. He was an Attorney and wrote hundreds of articles for AP. He was editor of the S.L C Reporter. Hickman's confession is as it was given. When you declare all peoples Christian faith "Anathema" and Your Polygamy Rev Nullifies all non Mormon marriage and contracts, you should expect strong resistance. Morality requires it

JHBeadles work was that of a dime store novelist with a obvious flare for tall tales. The proof that he was an unreliable witness are no charges were ever filed by a federal gov't who had already rounded up Momons and cataloged them like Jews. The way I see it, the church fled to Utah and anyone who threatened them got a fight. Is that any different than any other church? Most of the Mormons i know are good people and they don't deserve your vendetta. Please let it go.
You should watch the pbs series. Clearly Brigham Young's stepson went to escort them away and something went horribly wrong. There would be countless more examples of the mmm if it were the norm (which is only known about because they spared noncombatants (children). And for the record, Hickman wasn't involved in the m. While you're painting with such a broad brush... would you like to condemn Billy Graham and his entire ministry for something his stepson did? Honestly, you seem like the demon..

No one said BH was involved in the MMM. So, only combatants were killed? In Self defense? Cute. JD Lee says they didn't have 20 rounds left. Oh, he mentions separating the men and women and children. Oh, something else, they were unarmed and separated. Under a white flag. They killed little running teen age girls. When they were done "killing the combatants" they didn't just strip the bodies. They searched the naked bodies. You know the meaning, right? Not much to search if naked, so go digging

It's evident from letters that Hickman was an amiable fellow. Prob wasn't the smartest thing to pick a fight with him though... I don't think there was premeditated murder, least of all ordered by the church. They were defending the territory from those who had pursued them there. Remember, war is an ugly thing. If they hadn't defended themselves they also wouldn't exist now. Surely you're not against self-defense?

read up on Hickman and Rockwell. They were as amiable as most psychopathic sociopath demonic possessed persons can be, Like Briggy and many political types. All BH murders were premeditated and by orders. He also claims he never was paid a dime (Beadle would be furious) for his work, which he calls "for the Church". He and JD Lee describe giving horses, oxen, wagon to Brigggy Because he wanted them, they gave w/o recompense. Mormon Self defense if summed up in killing women and children at MMM

Were it written as given, Brigham Young and Hickman would've gone to prison. Instead, it was written to sell books back east. The taller the tale, the bigger the sales. And you're bearing false witness based on nothing more than a dimestore novel. I heard Hickman was 10 feet tall and fire shot out of his butt?

I addressed the "Dime store" issue below. If JD Lee had coughed up a little more in hair ball Briggy would be dead. But Lee believed in Joes original Mormonism w/o some of the Brighamism. SO, Mormonism lives.. Nice thing is, we do have have confirmation of issues like the Hartley murder. It was the Morrisite Massacre that turned BH against Briggy. Hickman's book is true, you would think it was Pulp Fiction, but Mormonism is like that. His book is $135 on auction on ebay now
