@liamomaraiv.bsky.socialThe #MountainMeadowsMassacre, a #Mormon atrocity of the #UtahWar, began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1857. 120 settlers of the #BakerFancher wagon train, moving to #California from Arkansas, were killed by the #NauvooLegion & left for the animals. Only one perpetrator faced justice.
