Thanks for the responses to this and my other thread. I think the sense of anxiety about what the "outsiders" think of us in Utah that is expressed in "All are Talking Of Utah" is still very much present as we felt during the recent Olympics. Maybe that's what brought the song to mind. Anyway, I think I'll try to sing it at the next song circle (if anyone out there is in the Salt Lake area or will be on March 28, PM me and I'll send you the details and you can come).
To Bob (Deckman): sorry, I don't have any Mountain Meadows songs. The massacre is back in the news again now though. A US Park Service employee found what is purported to be a message from John D. Lee written on a lead plate that puts the blame on Brigham Young. It was in John D. Lee's house that they are beginning to reconstruct or restore or something. No word yet as to its authenticity.
