Message 910

Yesterday I worked on my memoirs and read on my Kindle. In the evening Mimi and I watched a DVD of the movie September Dawn. It was based on the true story of how on 11 September 1857 the Mormons killed 127 men women and children in a wagon train that was passing through Utah on its way to California. The U.S. Army later executed the leader of the Mormon group of killers, but they allowed the others, including Brigham Young, to get off unpunished. Because of it 9/11 date, the story particularly resonates today as an example of the terrible things people can do in the name of their religion. I give it three stars.
