Quote:An archaeologist believes he has found the true resting place of the victims of the Mountain Meadows Massacre—more than 150 years after the killings. Everett Bassett revealed his findings to families of the victims on Sept. 12 in Arkansas, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. "There's no way this could be the grave," Bassett initially said of the two large mounds of rock in southwest Utah. "But, on other hand, there was absolutely nothing else it could be." Bassett believes the remains of most of the 120 men, women, and children lie beneath the rock cairns, buried there by Army soldiers nearly two years after they were slaughtered. The 1857 massacre was orchestrated by members of the Mormon Church against the Fancher-Baker wagon party as it traveled to California during a time when hostility against non-Mormons in Utah was high, according to an account by the University of Missouri.
