How many murders?

How many would you guess were killed by the Danites?
How many were 'blood atoned'?

Any reliable figures?

Re: How many murders?

I'm not convinced that the Danites existed as an organization after Joseph Smith died. However, ex-Danites such as Orrin Porter Rockwell certainly carried on the killing business. Brigham Young definitely kept the Danite spirit alive, whether or not the organization remained.

Billl Hickman and John D. Lee's Confessions Say they Existed...

Baskin's "Reminiscences" is an excellent source for information on Hickman...

Yeah, I believe they continued in Utah.

But what would you guess were the numbers killed? Like 10?
50? Hundreds?

(And SL Cabbie, you know I'm reading Baskin!!)
