"1. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
"2. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. ...
"7. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
"8. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
"9. But if they cannot contain, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn."
1 Corinthians 7:1-2, 7-9

MOUNTAIN MEADOW MASSACRE
My recent visit
to the annual meeting of the Mountain Meadows Massacre Foundation, Inc. at
Carrollton, Arkansas, USA
on September 8-10, 2006
I hope you enjoy the accompanying slide show of the conference which included a wagon train which left from the original departure point and a tour of gravesites of the survivors of the Mountain Meadows Massacre of September 11, 1857. There were several inscriptions at the monument they have which I have written out below to facilitate reading them:

1. On the cross: “Vengeance is mine. I will repay saith the Lord”
2. On the stone: Here 120 men, women and children were massacred in cold blood early in September 1857. They were from Arkansas.”
3. On the large wooden sign: “The Mountain Meadows Massacre”
“Early in 1857, a large wagon train, known as the Fancher-Baker train left Caravan Spring (south of Harrison) and headed for California. They camped at this site enroute to intercept the Cherokee trail at the Grand Saline in Indian Territory.”
“Months later, the wagon train came under siege by the Mormons and Indians in Southwest Utah at a place called Mountain Meadows. On September 11, 1857, the Mormons brutally murdered 121 men, women and children after assuring their protection. Only 17 small children were spared from the massacre.”
“The dead were left exposed to the elements until 18 months later, when U.S. Army troops led by Major James H. Carlton buried the remains in several mass graves. A cross and stone were placed over one such gravesite containing 34 of the victims. This is a scaled replica of Carleton’s original cairn.”
“The surviving children were brought back to Arkansas and spent their first night at the site of the old Yell Lodge. On September 25, 1859, the orphaned children were united with relatives in the Carrollton town square.”
“In 1861, Brigham Young and his entourage visited the Utah gravesite. He saw the words on the cross and said, ‘Vengeance is mine and I have taken a little.’ Then Young raised his arm in the Danite sign of the square and within minutes his followers completely destroyed the monument. Presently, the LDS Church owns the grave at Mountain Meadows, Utah. They control the interpretation of the massacre. This replica of the original grave marker allows Arkansas relatives to memorialize the victims and interpret the massacre in their home state.”
