Centuries of junk food and snacks have taken their toll on Santa's waistline. With narrow chimneys now a danger, Mrs Claus decides that it's time for Santa to change his diet and start exercising. The reindeer, keen to lighten their load, are only too happy to help. But there's a fatal flaw in their weight loss plan... they think they can help by eating all of Santa's sweets for him. This leads to a troubled take off when Christmas comes around.
The massacre at Mountain Meadows on September 11, 1857, was the single most violent attack on a wagon train in the thirty-year history of the Oregon and California trails. Yet it has been all but forgotten. Will Bagley’s Blood of the Prophets is an award-winning, riveting account of the attack on the Baker-Fancher wagon train by Mormons in the local militia and a few Paiute Indians. Based on extensive investigation of the events surrounding the murder of over 120 men, women, and children, and drawing from a wealth of primary sources, Bagley explains how the murders occurred, reveals the involvement of territorial governor Brigham Young, and explores the subsequent suppression and distortion of events related to the massacre by the Mormon Church and others.
