Fascinating history, and I’ll definitely keep this in mind the next time a pair of well-dressed missionaries knock on my door. I might just casually ask if they’d like to discuss the finer details of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Should make for an interesting chat!

I've asked them all kinds of honest questions, but all they ever had for me was their canned speech.

I was this years old before I ever heard of the massacre. I bet the clean cut young missionaries may not have heard of it all.
 
The massacre scene was interesting. So many arrows in the air. Then they were left sticking in all the bodies and everything else. Must have been easier to make arrows back then.
I would think within the tribes everyone had specific duties and that there were a group of people who just made arrows all day . Just a theory.
 
Same on the hearing aids. We're going a bit off-topic here, but I found them life-changing. (wife made me get them) Get the best you can afford. Rechargeable. And wear them! Every day! You will be astonished at what you are missing in life. (damn, I sound like a salesman.)
I could barely hear the arrows whizzing by in the TV show, so it must be time to get some new hearings. No matter how good the hearing aids are, my hearing continues to decline. Going after my 4th set in 15 years next month.

I viewed this show with the understanding that was a made for TV movie and not a historical treatise, so while maybe loosely based on historical events, it probably didn't really happen in that order, that way. I was entertained.

I'm old, Saturday morning TV 6 shooters shot for ever and were never reloaded. And the hero and heroine always rode off into the Sunset. Gotta Love Roy Rogers, William Boyd and Andy Devine.
