A verse fragment from the Troy Herald on April 18 1877 discusses the value of truthful speech over harshness. It warns that poorly chosen words can wound pride more than intentional malice and urges care in conveying advice or sentiment.
The document recounts John D Lee’s confession about the Mountain Meadows Massacre in September 1857, detailing assembly at Parowan, the plan to trap emigrants, the killings of women and children, and the execution of Lee by firing squad. It notes leadership by Brigham Young and Haight, the massacre as ordered duty, and consequences for those involved.
