On June 4, 1858, five Mormon pioneers traveling unarmed in the Utah Territory were attacked by a party of Ute Indians, a tribe purportedly at peace with the Mormons. Four of the travelers were slain, one escaped. Based on that documented but unexplained tragedy, MASSACRE AT SALT CREEK is a novel that's full of excitement and suspense---and inspiration.
The Mormons---three men, one accompanied by wife and child---might have journeyed safely, but the spirited stallion their leader rode proved too great a temptation for several ever-watchful Utes. The Indians' attack was brutal, but the Mormons' defense was unexpectedly stubborn; of both Indians and whites, the only survivors of the confrontation were the woman, the baby, and a sadistic, half-crazed Ute.
A chilling episode of flight ensues, with the chances for survival overwhelmingly against the woman; she's wounded, weakened, and has an infant to tend to. But the outcome of chase is impossible to predict, for the power of her newly found faith becomes the source of an inner strength and determination she never dreamed possible.
