Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper reports seventeen years after the massacre in Mountain Meadow that John D. Lee, former Mormon Bishop of Harmony, testified emigrants were attacked by about thirty Mormons aided by many Lidians, killing all but seventeen children. He says he carried news to Brigham Young who deplored the act, though the government doubts his full story.
