	There were no reports of problems until the wagon train reached Fillmore, about 150 miles south of Salt Lake City. Commencing at this point and through settlements to the south, there were complaints that the emigrants boasted of participating in the violence against Mormons in both Missouri and Illinois, poisoned a spring, and that they threatened to destroy one of the Mormon settlements. ~~At one point~~, it was believed that the Saints heard that the wagon train members may have participated in the killing of Parley P. Pratt in Arkansas, but more recent historical analysis as shown this not to be the case.

			There was another wagon train that was traveling less than a week behind the Baker-Fancher train. This was the Turner-Dukes train and, while they had people from Arkansas and other places, a good portion of their train was made up of Missourians. They were the trouble makers. The problem is that people down in southern Utah heard stories about a troublesome wagon train and thought it was the Baker-Fancher train rather than the wagon train behind them.

			Previous historians have believed that the Saints heard that the wagon train members may have participated in the killing of Parley P. Pratt in Arkansas, but more recent historical analysis has shown this not to be the case.

			Thus, a series of tragic misunderstandings led to this particular train being targeted, though the attack was not justified even if the southern Utah worries had been based in fact.

 ===Why did the wagon train stop at Mountain Meadows?===
 It was common for emigrant parties (not just the Baker-Fancher wagon train) to camp at Mountain Meadows for several days or even weeks. The area provided excellent grazing, so animals traveling with the wagon trains could refresh and prepare for the gruelling desert crossings still to come.
 ===Why did the massacre take place?===
 The isolation of the Mormon communities (this was before the telegraph was available), incomplete news of the approaching U.S. Army, fear of non-Mormons, and other factors lead to paranoia on the part of the Mountain Meadows community.
