Mountain Meadows Monument

** FILE ** A marker describes the Mountain Meadows burial site which is in the valley at rear July 17, 2002, in Mountain Meadows, Utah. A group of Mormon settlers and Indians ambushed a wagon train of 40 men, 30 women and 70 children. The emigrants circled their wagons and dug in, surrendering days later when the Mormon settlers promised to protect them if they disarmed. Instead, the Mormon militia and the Indians killed the group. Seventeen children under the age of seven were spared and adopted into the community. (AP Photo/Douglas C. Pizac, File)

Descendants of the 120-member Arkansas immigrant party slaughtered in southern Utah by pioneer Mormon settlers say their plea for federal stewardship of the Mountain Meadows mass grave site has been rejected by leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
