ATHEARN * NE day in the spring of 1848, a young first lieutenant sta­ O tioned at Monterey, California, learned that the far­ famed Kit Carson, trapper and scout, had arrived from Taos with mail and dispatches. Having seen Fremont's recent writ­ ings, the officer was anxious to look upon this man who had come to international notice through his feats of daring in the western wilderness. Making his way to the tavern he found a small, round-shouldered individual with hair that was not quite as red as his own and whose appearance was somewhat less spectacular than he had imagined. Carson proved to be a further disappointment in that his speech was monosyllabic and he displayed little tendency to talk about the exploits that were claimed for him. Yet, in their modesty, the two men were much alike and shortly a warm friendship developed.

FLEEK *** THE UTAH WAR WAS DIFFERENT from any other military con- flict or venture in which members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have participated. In subsequent wars and military expeditions—with the exception of the Civil War—the Church and its members have supported and fought for the United States and other nations’ armed forces to defeat other enemies. In the Utah War, however, this was not the case. In acts of self-preservation, the Church and the Lieutenant Colonel Sherman L.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

    Title A Trial Lawyer Reviews Will Bagley’s Blood of the Prophets Author(s) Robert D. Crockett Reference FARMS Review 15/2 (2003): 199–254. ISSN 1550-3194 (print), 2156-8049 (online) Abstract Review of Blood of the Prophets: Brigham Young and the Massacre at Mountain Meadows (2002), by Will Bagley. A Trial Lawyer Reviews Will Bagley’s Blood of the Prophets Robert D. Crockett Introduction any historians have examined the tragic Mountain Meadows MMassacre of 1857, and many yet will.¹ As of the writing of this review, Will Bagley’s work is one of the latest. Blood of the Prophets has received effusive praise from reviewers and award committees, a point prominently noted on the dust jacket. Bagley’s particular claim to make this book worthwhile is that he has “troubling new evidence” to prove that President Brigham Young and Apostle George A. Smith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints were accessories before the fact to commit the massacre.² 1. Sally Denton, American Massacre: The Tragedy at Mountain Meadows, September 1857 (New York: Knopf, 2003). Glen M. Leonard, Richard E. Turley Jr., and Ronald W. Walker, Tragedy at Mountain Meadows (Oxford: Oxford University Press, forthcoming). 2. For another book of recent vintage which concludes that Brigham Young directed the massacre, see William Wise, Massacre at Mountain Meadows: An American Legend and a Monumental Crime (New York: Crowell, 1976). Although Wise reaches the same conclusions as Bagley, for a number of reasons Wise’s work is different and of lesser Review of Will Bagley.

There is no better illustration of this conflict than that of the life of Union Major General George Henry Thomas of the Western theater in Tennessee. When the Southern states seceded, each citizen had an important decision to make whether to side with the Union or the Confederacy. For some it seemed an easy decision, whether it meant staying loyal to their state or because they believed in the cause of one of the two sides. However, choosing sides would prove to be a conflict for others, because in many cases they felt split in two: between state and country, family and conscience, friends and conviction, government and beliefs. Thomas was one of those who chose to make the tough decision: to fight for the Union, even though he had been raised in a Southern home.
