− | | | + | |propaganda=It is true that Lee's memoir is considered "valid and credible by later scholars" if by "later scholars" one means "hostile authors who wish to blame the Church as an institution and Brigham Young," such as [[Blood_of_the_Prophets:_Brigham_Young_and_the_Massacre_at_Mountain_Meadows#Reviews_of_this_work|Bagley]], [[Under_the_Banner_of_Heaven#Reviews of this work|Krakauer]], or Stenhouse. This is assuredly ''not'' true of the broader scholarly consensus. |
