Wonderfully done video. I know that these don't bring the views that the firearm-related content does, but individuals like myself very much appreciate the time, effort, and personality you bring to the InRange channel with this content. My hope is that comments like this are encouraging to you all.

What an incredibly sad story. To make it so far across the plains and all their dangers just to be killed by yout fellow countryman seeking the same thing you were; Freedom, Peace and a safe place to call home. Thanks InRange for making these videos as only you can!

I really enjoy these Old West Vignettes. I hope you have plans to make many more of them in 2019. Thanks for the work you put into these.

As someone who grew up in Utah in the 1990s /early 2000s I can attest to this event being largely glossed over in Utah History classes. I think a lot of people in Utah see any criticism of their church and it's past leaders as a direct attack on them without realizing that it's possible to criticize the vile actions of past LDS leadership without hating Mormons of today. I just wish the LDS church was willing to admit many of it's past deeds were less than noble, just as I wish the Catholic Church, US government or any other longstanding organization would admit.

Well done Karl and Sarah. Very interesting

No way! I'm actually a (distant) descendant of the Baker family, my mother told me about this story when I was in high-school. Thanks for covering this interesting piece of history.

Still one of my favorite series on KZfaq! Thanks guys!

I'm so glad that you guys take the time to tell these stories. Nobody else seems to care anymore and soon many will simply be lost to time I'm afraid.

Senior church officials were so upset over this atrocity that they promptly returned the stolen property and kidnapped children to relatives in Arkansas and vigorously prosecuted the militia members for murder and rape (yep, they did that too per court testimony, since they were going to kill them anyway they reasoned). Oh wait, that's NOT what happened! Young ordered the stolen property sold for the benefit of the church, hid the kids, and hid the perps from justice, in most cases forever. Pure evil, the crime AND the cover up at the highest levels. Great video BTW. History isn't always easy or nice, but it should not be forgotten.

Love me some old west vignettes

You were finally able to get up there and make this one. I really like the different and not well known western stories.

I love Vignettes, thanks for the efforts!!

A Sad, Sad story, No way around it. Denial of responsibility, Is a terrible form of evil. Taking responsibility is the best starting point for healing.

thank you for continuing to put out this Vignettes. i always learn alot from them. Keep up the good work.

There was a reason the LDS was forced out West. If you dig into there past, you will find this wasn't their first time doing something like this.

These videos are hands down some of the best content that InRange TV does. Please continue as much as you can. We enjoy them and I get the feeling that you enjoy doing them. Rarely is there an unique story. History is repeated.

I’m always thankful for the effort you put into these, despite the low viewership. Those of us that do watch, very much appreciate them.

September 11th? Jesus, that's just a super unlucky day...

Karl that was beautifully done. Thank you for the tact and reverence in conveying the events.

Yesss! This is my favorite series on this channel. You're the man, Karl!

Fantastic episode Karl! Truly a moving and heartfelt telling of a shocking episode from history, you have an excellent sense of how to convey the tragedy of what happened. I never would have known about this had it not been for your efforts; I really do appreciate the Old West Vignettes and really hope you continue to put in the effort of making them. Please keep it up!

I LIKE these videos wish they were more popular , I hate that these things have happened . Better to learn of them so they are not repeated . Thank you !

Incredibly compelling. Marvelous job bringing this story to a new audience.

Thanks Karl, Ive been waiting for another Old West Vignette. I have heard of this incident before, but some of those were interesting facts that you brought up I don't remember hearing about. Like the Brigham Young letter showing up a day late, and the befitting justice that was issued to John Lee. I also like how you mentioned a little about some of the persecution that The Mormons went through. Its a sad part of history and I appreciate what you do in taking the time to produce these types of videos as well as the other videos you make here on InRange.

Karl, Once again another well-done look at American history. These vignettes are incredibly informative and give us a peak into events and people that are often overlooked or unheard of. I, for one, appreciate the time and effort you take to share this content along oththe other great stuff you and Ian do. I am a teacher and some of these vignettes have been included in my lessons. Cheers!

Very well done!! Thanks for this! One of the many reason I love this channel.

Great video Karl. Thanks for taking the time to tell us about events like this.

Damn, so much crazy history on this continent

Thank you for these Karl. Great history lesson of things that most people may not ever have heard of .

Tyvm for these videos it teaches us about some of our forgotten history I hope you continue making them

Fantastic video on an horrific occurrence. Caught it on FB but always want to pop over to YT to make sure y’all get the support here as well. Love the OWV’s. Thanks crew.

Thank you so much for another vignette! These are much appreciated and a big reason I hang on patreon even though times are tough personally.

An interesting bite of history, and I really enjoyed the editing and presentation of it. I'll have to do some reading on this event if I can. Thank you Karl and Sarah.

Wow. Powerful presentation. What a great time to share this story. Respect!

Thank you , Karl and associates, for producing these videos.

I’ve missed your old west vignettes, they’re easily some of your best content

Great work Karl. What a sad story

You put it so well, to see it from both perspectives! Well done!

This is why I support this channel through patreon. Keep up the great work.

Love the Old West Vignettes, one of the big reasons I support you guys on patreon

Nicely done, Karl. I love these Old West Vignettes.

Well done video and handling of the history of this event. Thank you.

I like the way you tell stories, the way you tell the hidden Hystory. Without pathos, but with empathy. Thank you.

Love your history shorts. Keep em coming. Thanks for the upload.

Great video, depressing but great. These videos help humanize history and tell stories I didn’t even know about. Nice work Carl

I had zero knowledge of these events before this video. Thanks for the enlightenment, Karl. Very sad story.

Such a wild story. Thank you for sharing, once again telling the stories most of us would never have heard otherwise

So tragic unbelievable that compassion and Christian Tenents can so easily be thrown out the window whenever there is a conflict....Its good that you have bought this story out.

Great Video, love these old west stories.

good god that is awful, i think its a great thing to inform others who had no idea this is history and those murdered deserve to be remembered

Thanks for this well done historical vignette Carl; It’s appreciated very much!

Some of my favorite types of videos that you make.

I must admit that the history vids are some of the best vids you do.

Really enjoy these vignettes Karl. Thank you

Fascinating karl, once again you taught me something I did not know. Great video and thank you karl.

Old West Vignette? Hell yes! You just made my friday, Karl. Thank you.

Thanks for the video!

Another fascinating story and well put together on location. Love your very even handed and attentive take on history, this clearly means a lot to you and I think every nation should be passionate about their history; the good, the bad and everything in between. Also, the 11th of September seems to be a really shite day to be anywhere in American history.

I love your Old West Vignettes! As a bloke from the Old World I often see a disregard for American history as insignificant, crude and altogether less nuanced than our own. Through some digging, some seminars offered at university and not the least because of your beautifully researched and topically diverse Old West Vignettes it is easy to see what the student of history already knows in his heart: humans act human and do so in whatever context they are encountered. It gladdens my stony heart, all encrusted from wading though the "Bloody History of Europe" for years, every time to see justice done to the nuanced aspects of New World history. To actually hear about the complicated matters, not to drown my mind in a superficial, still somewhat tainted by the idea of manifest destiny from both sides of the pond, simplified narrative. Plus I'm somewhat fascinated with the whole Deseret project of the LDS church since I'm ever so slightly connected to them (once removed, my oldest friend is a LDS follower). I don't post this every time, since it would really be... err... at the very least annoying, but you have my profound thanks for these little intriguing insights! Raoul G. Kunz

HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS RIGHT AWAY!!!! Thank you Karl!

Thank you for the video guys. As an European I find this so different I can't help but be drawn to learn more about the frontier. I used to drive by a concentration camp every single day for a year when I was going to school. Really made me think. Probably contributed to my sensitivity. I think too many people around my age (20) are afraid to face the facts as they are and see the history for what it was, raw and not filtered through pages of books and through words of scholars. The numbers and reports are indeed important and hard to swallow sometimes. But actually walking inside a gas chamber and looking at the walls... something like that changes a man. Same with such massacres - being able to visit the place where innocents were slaughtered, it really is saddening, but also gives us the ability to see what we must not ever allow to happen again. Thank you again for bringing us this enlightening material. I do wish I could support you on Patreon, but I really do have a tight budget, least I can do is advertise you to my friends and watch every single video. Thanks again!

One could only imagine the anguish hearing that there had been a massacre carried out before Brigham Young's letter could get there; knowing that the letter to prevent such was on its way but arriving too late.

Love these vignettes.. thank you!

Great job, Old West Vignettes are very interesting and much appreciated

Alright! A new Vignette!

Another fascinating tale of the West. Thank you Karl and co.!

I've read about this before, but seeing the actual location brings it to life. Thank you

Need more of these, Carl! Shame more people don’t watch them. They are missing out.

YAY another old west vignette. Like everyone else, I came here because of the guns...... but i stayed and donate to the patreon because of the historical basis this show centers around. These videos will never get as many views as the AK mud tests, but this is the real meat of your channel. Keep it up. You guys do great work.

On September 11th too...

History like this should never be forgotten and should be valuable lesson for future generations Thanks for doing this video Ps the lesson is not all Mormons are awful just in case

As always this video was informative and slightly windy! We thank you gentleman!

Old west vignettes are the main reason I love this channel.

Never ever give up your guns. If the situation is grim at least you have a chance, however slight it may or may not be. If you give up your guns you certainly have no chance.

Love the vignettes! Cheers!

Awesome episode!

forgotten and unknown history...Thankyou

Very few people know about this. Thanks for sharing this history.

Well done. I worked in Harrison, AR, Boone County. There is a monument on the court house square about the massacre. I believe that either the group left from this area or at least a lot of the people were from here. It's been a long time since I read the monument.

Crazy story. I love these segments

Thank you from Southern Utah

Thank you for this

This was great and important. Thanks

Thank you for the fair and unbiased portrayal of this story. As a Mormon it's rare to see people approach this story without a chip on their shoulder, looking to catagorically blame the whole church for the incident and lay the blood at the feet of people who don't deserve it. Clearly blame for this massacre must be assigned, but there is great nuance in this mistake. Would to God those people never suffered, but simple causes for this incident defy reason.

Thanks love these vids.

Your mud tests and 2Gun matches may get the views, but these old west vignettes are the reason I keep coming back.

As always very informative and well executed!

Sad piece of Utah history. Visited the site a few years back.

Awesome, love these!

Screw Hate. I am just glad someone is piecing together the missing history of the old West. Having been schooled in California, most of what we were taught was California history. Thank you.

Love this channel

Very much enjoyed this video even though it’s a very sad story. It’s good to learn about these forgotten stories and Americans.

Interesting story, I've lived in Salt Lake City my whole life and the state history curriculum rarely touched on this, not mentioning the involvement of the militia. Thank you for sharing this bit of local history

great video. i went and researchd it and am impressed how the LDS does indeed accept responsibility. dont agree with their beliefs but i respect that attitude

Thats more history than the history channel these days. It’s amazing how hard it is to find good educational content anymore.

Wouldn't generate the views??? You guys have done good the past couple weeks with subs which is awesome!!!!! By the way I really do enjoy the Vignettes

Always love to see the vignettes

I always enjoy these.

I really like the Old West Vignettes and I know they dont get the same play and likes that other inrangetv videos do, but I love them because I like history, but also because they are the only Inrange videos I can get my girlfriend to watch with me. keep up the good work.

Iam from Arkansas and love old west history but never knew anything about this great video
