BYU Studies Journal, volume 47, no. 3 (complete journal)
John W. Welch
This special issue of BYU Studies
contains selections from two collections of documents that Ronald W.
Walker, Richard E. Turley Jr., and Glen M. Leonard used as primary
sources in writing Massacre at Mountain Meadows,
recently published by Oxford University Press. Some of these documents
are available here for the first time to researchers and other
interested readers. The entire Andrew Jenson and David H. Morris
collections will be published by BYU Studies in the forthcoming Mountain Meadows Massacre Documents.
In addition to the documents and transcripts, this issue
contains brief histories of the Andrew Jenson and David H. Morris
collections, detailing how they originated, how they came into the
Church’s possession, and where they have been archived. These histories
also give biographical information about the various individuals who
were interviewed in the 1890s by Jenson, an employee in the Church
Historian’s Office, and those who gave statements a decade later to
Morris, an attorney and judge in St. George, Utah.
Also published in this issue are essays by guest editors
Richard E. Turley Jr. and Ronald W. Walker, reviews of their book by
Brian Q. Cannon and Jared Farmer, and a review of Shannon A. Novak’s House of Mourning by Joel C. Janteski.
