Go to this link to read about the Mountain Meadow Masacre in Utah in 1857. http://denver.rockymountainnews.com/killingfields/
This is a (Denver) Rocky Mountain News story about a large group of farmers and their families who left NW Arkansas for California in 1857 but were masacred in SW Utah. The story is very sad, and includes a list of the victims' names and ages. Might be helpful to someone tracing lost ancestors.
