Headed out to Prescott Arizona for ten days. First trip out that way and
plan to drive up to Lee's Ferry area one day. Are there wading parts of
water in that area where you do not need a guide?. Any info thanks. Joe the

Apropos whatever. . .
Lee's Ferry was named after John D. Lee, the central character in one
of the truly saddest moments in the history of the Intermountain West,
and the only White man executed by the Federal Government for the
Mountain Meadow wagon train massacre.

With the complicity (both in the massacre and the execution) of the
LDS Church; he was probably a patsy taking responsibility for the
entire thing. There are recent discoveries with evidence that Brigham
Young was informed and in an advisory role, but the church has
steadfastly maintained that it had no involvement. Its still a very
sensitive topic in Utah. There is also no archeological evidence that
the Paiutes were involved at all, but the the entire massacre was done
by the Mormons, contrary to their testimony.

And the date of the massacre? Sept 11.
