  July 4th, 2008 -- The Price of Freedom

  have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the declaration of independence?.

  five were imprisoned by the british as traitors and tortured before they died.. twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.. two lost their sons serving in the revolutionary army; another had two sons captured.. nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.. they signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.. what kind of men were they?.

  twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.

  Prove to me that these men even existed.

  That's easy.... look up their geneology and find their decendents..(public records make great validation).

  Now.... prove to us that you exist.

  Yes... it is yummy. Here in Southern California it can be found it most grocery stores. Also fabulous (in my opinion) is Starbucks hot chocolate. You can get a tin of their "Mocha" mix at most of their coffee stores and make your own.

  The Other 9-11 - Mormon Massacre

  by Bonnie_Clyde in

  2. friends

  probably many of you have heard of this, but i just found out.

  interesting how the mormons reacted to one of their members requesting that they make a "full confession and take the consequences.

  " also the statement by john d. lee that they were performing a religious "duty.".

  QCMBR...

  I think you're referring to the Haun's Mill Massacre which happened in Missouri almost 20 years BEFORE the Mountain Meadow's Massacre - long before the mormons moved to the Utah territory. It's an interesting read at Wikipedia:

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haun's_Mill_massacre

  here's an excerpt:

  On October 30 at approximately 4 p.m., the militia rode into the community. David Evans, a leader in the community, ran towards the militia, waving his hat and calling for peace. Alerted to the militia's approach, most of the Latter Day Saint women and children fled into the woods to the south, while most of the men stayed behind to fight, entrenching themselves in the blacksmith shop. Unfortunately, the building was a particularly vulnerable structure as the widely-spaced logs made it easy for the attackers to fire inside. The shop became a deathtrap, since the militia gave no quarter, firing about one hundred rifles and muskets into the building.

  After the initial attack, several of those who had been wounded or had surrendered were shot dead. Members of the militia entered the shop and found ten-year-old Sardius Smith hiding under the blacksmith's bellows. William Reynolds put his musket against the boy's skull and blew off the top of his head. Reynolds later explained, "Nits will make lice, and if he had lived he would have become a Mormon." [4]Seventy-eight year old Thomas McBride surrendered his musket to militiaman Jacob Rogers, who then shot McBride and hacked his body apart with a corn knife. Several other bodies were mutilated or clothing stolen, while many women were assaulted. Houses were robbed, wagons, tents and clothing were stolen, and horses and livestock were driven off, leaving the surviving women and children destitute.

  By the end of the skirmish at least eighteen Mormons were dead: Hiram Abbott, Elias Benner, John Byers, Alexander Campbell, Simon Cox, Josiah Fuller, Austin Hammer, John Lee, Benjamin Lewis, Thomas McBride (78), Charley Merrick (9), Levin Merrick, William Napier, George S. Richards, Sardius Smith (10), Warren Smith, and John York. Thirteen more had been injured, including a woman and nine-year-old child. A non-Mormon sympathizer was also killed. Three of the 250 militiamen were wounded, but none fatally. After the fighting, the dead were thrown in an unfinished well and covered with dirt and straw. The survivors and their wounded gathered at Far West for protection. [2]
