The front page has a report headed: "The Mountain Meadow Massacre" "The Testimony For the Defense--The Massacre Changed To The Indians--An Attempt to Save Lee" with the dateline from Beaver, Utah.
The Mountain Meadows Massacre was a series of attacks during the Utah War that resulted in the mass murder of at least 120 members of an emigrant wagon train, occurring in the southern Utah Territory at Mountain Meadows. It was perpetrated by Mormons who recruited and were aided by some Southern Paiute Native Americans. The wagon train, made up mostly of families from Arkansas, was bound for California, traveling on the Old Spanish Trail that passed through the Territory.
Eight pages, very nice condition.

Background: In 1875, John D. Lee, a Mormon militia leader, was tried in Beaver, Utah, for his role in the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre, where around 120 emigrants were killed. The first trial ended in a hung jury, largely due to divided public opinion and conflicting witness testimony. A second trial in 1876, focused specifically on the killing of the adult men in the wagon train, led to Lee’s conviction. He was executed by firing squad in 1877 at the massacre site, claiming he had been made a scapegoat to shield higher-ranking Mormon leaders. Lee remains the only person ever held legally accountable for the massacre.
