Photographer: Bill Kirchner
Taken: August 29, 2011
Caption: Massacre Site (View north from Dan Sill Hill)
Additional Description: Travelers entering Mountain Meadows from the north crossed the rim of the basin near the location in the photo. Pack trains stayed to the far (west) side of the valley, but wagons chose a less marshy route nearer this side. Most of the Baker-Fancher Party were killed on September 11, 1857, as they were being escorted out of the valley heading north. The photo locates the approximate site of the massacre and of an 1859 stone monument marking one of the burial sites.
