The Baker-Fancher party, composed of families from Arkansas, enters the Utah Territory and sets up camp at Mountain Meadows. Mormon militiamen, provoked by the rhetoric of Brigham Young, attack the emigrants while disguised as Native Americans. After a five-day siege, Mormon militiamen approach the wagon train waving a white flag. Militia Officer John Lee tells the party that he has negotiated a truce with the Paiute Indians. Under Mormon protection, the emigrants would be escorted to Cedar City in exchange for their livestock and supplies. The party accepts the offer and are led away from their defensible position. After being disarmed, 120 members of the Baker-Fancher party are murdered; 17 young children are the only survivors. 20 years later, John Lee is executed by firing squad for his role in the massacre.
