This is it is our presence.

The philosophies of men beingled with humans.

We are the whole world. A few years ago I went through what is commonly referred to as crisis of faith.

Crisis of faith occurs when someone's faith is either changed or when one experiences

a loss of their prior faith and something they once firmly believe in.

Well this happened to me. You're listening to the Infants on Thrones podcast and my name is Tom Perry.

It was late 2007 and the local news were reporting on a new controversial movie

that was about the Mount Meadows Massacre. I was completely naive to the

Massacre and then all of a sudden I found myself immersed in this shameful event of over 150 years ago.

I went to the local library and read as many books as I could get my hands on on the massacre

and found myself completely engrossed in the mid-19th century.

I read Juanita Brooks, Will Bagley, Turley, Leonard Walker, and a few others.

There was one particular book that I read that really hit me hard, under the Banner of Heaven by John Crackhour.

This book is mainly about a gruesome cold-blooded murder by two religious fanatics, Ron and Dan Lafferty, but it also explores many other historical

events, like the origins of the Mormon Church, the secret practice of polygamy, the kidnapping

of Elizabeth Smart, and of course the Mount Meadows Masses. of

the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart and of course the Mount Meadows Massacre.

I'm a pretty avid book reader and I immediately thought of a few questions that I

ask myself after every book that I read.

How would I rate this book on a scale of 1 to 10? What parts of the book stood out to me the most?

How historically accurate was Crack Hour in his research?

And would I recommend this book to others?
