Statue of controversial Mormon settler may have found a home
John D. Lee Controversial Statue
Since 2004 this statue cannot find a home...Why? Because John D. Lee, adoptive son of Brigham Young was found as the only responsible for the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

| SALT LAKE CITY Since 2004, Jerry Anderson's bronze likeness of controversial Mormon pioneer settler John D. Lee has been without a home. The 6-foo-6 statue was supposed to go up outside Washington City offices. But the city changed its mind after complaints the statue would honor a killer. Lee was the only person held responsible for the Mountain Meadows Massacre _ the slaughter of 120 men, women and children from an Arkansas wagon train on Sept. 11, 1857. Now it seems the mothballed statue could soon have a home. Renovation plans for Fort Harmony include a spot for the statue. Lee helped build the fort in 1854. |
