Great history of the Mountain Meadows Massacre
The title is "Massacre at Mountain Meadows" (duh), and there are three authors: Ronald W. Walker, Richard E. Turley, Jr., and Glen M. Leonard.
It was published in 2008, and it takes a new look at the causes and repercussions of the massacre. In light of our most recent election and the Mormon theme, this book is even kind of timely.
It uses some new methods to look at the psychological and emotional justifications by the perpetrators in the run-up to the tragedy.
It's very well written. I'm a little over half way through, and I'm loving it (in a morbid, educational sort of way 
).

"You've seen an end to mere possession cases in Boulder County under my office," Garnett said.
Garnett said his office will also not prosecute any marijuana paraphernalia charges in light of Amendment 64 passing statewide earlier this month. Amendment 64 will legalize possession of up to one ounce of marijuana in Colorado for those over the age of 21.
