Summary: Papa Joe's comments for "Drenched in Blood, Rigid in Death "
Comment: This account of what happened in the "Old West" two Centuries ago presents and excellent insight into the history of our Country. Without fixing blame, the author gives names, dates and places regarding the Wickenburg Massacre. He also provides informative maps and word-of-mouth information to support the disregard for, not only American Indians, but for any idle pioneers traveling from East to West who were not part of the established Mormon(LDS)settlement in Utah. I was amazed at the attempts on behalf of the Mormon leadership to cover-up what actually transpired and pass it off as an unfortunate mistake, when it was clear that [they] routinely displayed a total disregard and distrust for the well-being of anyone not within [their] folds. As history later disclosed the true story of the Wickenburg Massacre, the hierarchy of the Mormon Clan endeavored to make retribution by erecting to the memory of those "slaughtered" a simple monument. Today, this veneration of enduring historic significance gives notice that something tragic did, in fact, occur at that specific location and on a certain date. However, an indepth account would be difficult to find in any history book. And, although the LDS archives recognize such an incident did take place, it is unlikely [they] will ever take full responsbility for any inhumane actions taken by past LDS leaders. The only trace of such acknowledgement came when [they] bannished one member for actions he took pertaining to the massacre. The author obviously spent much time to personally research archives and fund this collection of printed and word-of-mouth accounts passed down from one generation to another. The maps he provides in this book present an outstanding overview of the geography as it appeared during that time frame. As earlier stated, one cannot find this calibre of factual data in school texts and, it is doubtful, primary and secondary educators would be permitted to teach history in this fashion. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this look into a small part of the history of our Country, and we have shared it with our children and grandchilren. "Two thumbs up!"
