In this much-anticipated sequel, Richard E. Turley Jr. and Barbara Jones Brown examine the aftermath of this atrocity.  Vengeance Is Mine documents southern Utah leaders' attempts to cover up their crime by silencing witnesses and spreading lies. 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. Turley and Brown explore the fraught relationship between Lee and church president Brigham Young, and assess what role, if any, Young played in the cover-up. And they trace the fates of the other perpetrators, including the harrowing end of Nephi Johnson, who screamed \"Blood! Blood! Blood!\" in his delirium as he was dying, more than sixty years after the massacre.  Turley and Brown also tell the story of the massacre's few survivors: seventeen children who witnessed the slaughter and eventually returned to Arkansas, where the ill-fated wagon train originated.  Vengeance Is Mine brings the hitherto untold story of this shameful episode in Mormon and Utah history to its dramatic conclusion.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746671173905,"sku":"NGR9780195397857","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49960275181841,"sku":"CIN0195397851G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999809769745,"sku":"NIN9780195397857","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0195397851.jpg?v=1776765586"},{"product_id":"victims-book-richard-e-turley-9780252018855","title":"Victims","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49758837571857,"sku":"CIN0252018850G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346262888721,"sku":"CIN0252018850VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0252018850.jpg?v=1751390050"},{"product_id":"mountain-meadows-massacre-book-richard-e-turley-9780842527231","title":"Mountain Meadows Massacre","description":"\u003cp\u003eBYU Studies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMormon Studies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring years of research for their 2008 book \u003ci\u003eMassacre at Mountain Meadows: An American Tragedy\u003c\/i\u003e, authors Ronald W. Walker, Richard E. Turley Jr., Glen M. Leonard, and their colleagues discovered a great deal of information about the 1857 massacre, leading to a clearer understanding of the tragedy. No one can speak responsibly about the details of this event without consulting these newly discovered documents. Mountain Meadows Massacre presents two of the valuable and revealing collections the authors uncovered. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The first collection was gathered in the 1890s by Andrew Jenson (1850-1937), a full-time employee in the LDS church historian's office. The second collection was compiled a decade later by David H. Morris (1858-1937), an attorney and judge in St. George, Utah. Images of the original documents are accompanied by typed transcriptions, which reproduce original spelling, punctuation, strikethroughs, and inserted words or characters. Introductory text explains how each document collection was initially created, how the LDS Church came to possess them, and where they were archived. Brief biographical sketches introduce the individuals who were interviewed, gave affidavits, or wrote letters that appear in the document collections. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for BYU Studies.\u003cbr\u003e Winner of the Mormon History Association Steven F.
