Seeing the Elephant — David Quinn

I knew I would wake up at any moment. I would be back in the circle of wagons, in the middle, and everything would be warm again. I wouldn't tell anyone about this dream. But I didn't wake up. We were still running through the bodies and the Mormons and the Indians. Those were the words of Jigger Richmond, in the letters she left as her legacy. Her descendent, presidential candidate Sax Richmond, has discovered that his ancestors were not only survivors of the 1857 Mountain Meadow Massacre but one was a conspirator. As he continues his presidential campaign, Sax is now faced with the decision of how to handle the information. Does he hide it as its been hidden for decades?
