Awards and praise

Brigham D. Madsen, a fellow Utah historian, wrote: “While the word ‘definitive’ is often overused, this account of the killings merits that distinction. Bagley’s book ranks as a Mormon historical classic.”, Western Historical Quarterly.[6]

The New York Review of Books praised the work as “an exhaustive, meticulously documented, highly readable history that captures the events and atmosphere that gave rise to the massacre, as well as its long, tortuous aftermath. Bagley has taken great care in negotiating the minefield presented by what remains of the historical record.”[8]

Criticism

The book has received strong criticism from Mormon groups. The Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies at Brigham Young University criticized Bagley's conclusion that Brigham Young ordered the massacre.[9] For example, FARMS alleges that Bagley misused a quote, written by Dimick B. Huntington, in which the Piedes Indians told Brigham Young they were "afraid to fight the Americans & so would raise grain" during the Utah War.[10] Bagley replaced the word "grain" with "allies" as an interpolation, so as to read "afraid to fight the Americans & so would raise allies", and published this revision in Blood of the Prophets.[10] It has also been claimed that some of Bagley's more controversial conclusions can only be reached by using a flawed timeline of events.[9]

Some Mormon historians feel that, since Will Bagley was hired by California businessman Frank James Singer to "rewrite the story of the Mountain Meadows Massacre," this may have influenced his interpretation of the facts, a charge Bagley denies.[10]
