Lindsay Hansen-Park you just did the most comprehensive documentary on this subject I’ve ever heard or seen. I even learned a lot about my own roots from you.

I think the LeBaron story is one of the most fascinating tales of Mormondom. I must admit I’d love to have one of these so called Prophets look me in the eye and really tell me their were visited by God, Prophets or other Heavenly beings.

I like the way this story is told, even though it’s not a new story for me. My Great Grandfather is Alma Dayer Sr. I know documents state Ervil killed 25 plus people but most family agree it is closer to 50. What a sad time.
