How have I never heard of this? Around 120 people were massacred in Utah in 1857. In this video, I softly talk through what happened, what led up to it, and the aftermath. I also trace the route of the Baker–Fancher wagon train on a map. Just a calm, no-frills ASMR look at a tragic piece of history.
*I forgot to mention that one of the inciting factors may have been a belief by the Mormons that the wagon train had poisoned the water and killed their cattle. Is seems that was incorrect and it was most likely a bacteria in the water that occurred naturally.
Thanks for watching!
