The MMMF is largely comprised of the descendants of the seventeen young children that survived the massacre. Their personal support and feedback have proven to be an invaluable resource. I wish them success in their continued efforts to honor the victims of the massacre and in their commitment to guarantee unrestricted access to the privately owned massacre site. I’m grateful for the MMMF’s courage and reverence for their ancestors, along with their efforts in bringing greater awareness to the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I must also acknowledge the many helpful archivists that I’ve met along the way. Their individual expertise, patience, and general support have greatly influenced this project. The Mountain Meadows Massacre is no trivial or unfamiliar topic in the quiet corridors of Utah’s archives. And rather than rolling their eyes at yet another ambitious inquiry into massacre, many were quick to point me in new directions.

(1) When we write to friends and family, though we seem to be reporting on the past we are actually looking to the future. (2) The work I do, the work I seem to have been doing for quite a while, is to seek out ideas and images that enable our common future to avoid being mindlessly burdened by our shared past. Were I a good Buddhist, I would know that neither past nor future exist. There is only now and even in “now” there is no absolute reality. I am enough of a Buddhist to know that there is certainly no absolute reality in “history.” Even in the middle of a single household, it is evident that each of the different children grow up in different families, if only by virtue of birth order. So within the much larger and more complex system of relationships among people living in the United States, it is inconceivable that any of us inhabit identical narratives, identical ways of telling the stories of the history of this particular nation-state.
