Will Bagley has been a friend of mine--and this board--for decades and he does his own speaking, but on the subject of the Turley, Walker, Leonard whitewash, he simply said, "Don't take any prisoners."
The LDS church spent more than ten million dollars underwriting this bit of propaganda; Part II is still in the works (with one of the authors now deceased), and nothing has been forthcoming. Part I ends the day before the killing...
For some authentic history, Will's work is unparalleled; he's presented twice at Exmormon Conferences, and two other volumes have been well-received, including "Innocent Blood," an account of the survivors' stories taken from the children who were spared.
Quite simply, if you believe in BY's "innocence," you're forced to conclude that 70 or so faithful PH holding Latter-day Saints in Southern Utah would commit an act of cold-blooded murder in very treacherous fashion without BY's approval.
Didn't happen...
You can look, too, at how when Young finally visited the massacre site, he had the rock cairn, built by Major Carleton's men, dismantled...
He is reported as saying, the phrase "Venegeance is mine sayeth the Lord" was incorrect; he said it was his, and he had "taken a little."
