If so, sorry for bringing it up again.
If not...
It's a western set in the 1880s in Colorado and New Mexico. A murderous outlaw named Frank Griffin, played by Jeff Daniels, has a twisted sense of morality and tells how he was a child in the Francher party during the Mountain Meadows Massacre. He gives a fairly accurate account, including a mention of what we know as blood atonement (the writers must have done their research) and says he was adopted by one of the polygamist killers, beaten and abused and raised in their religion. Later, a US Marshall on Griffin's tail mentions to some townspeople that Griffin is a Mormon and believes the Garden of Eden was in Independence, Missouri.
Small world.
