The Canyon Chronicles, Volume I, a historical novel based on the early history of the Mormon Church, from the times of Brigham Young to the 1900’s. From ancient newspaper articles, antiquarian books, and the archives of the Mormon Church itself, K. Gray Jones has crafted a page-turner of a novel, culminating (Volume II) in a chilling and horrifying account of the Mountain Meadows massacre. An episode in Mormon history that its apostles wish would be forgotten and go away. But it continues to surface periodically.
