| 520 | _a"The Mormon Menace: The Confessions of John Doyle Lee, Danite" by Lee and Lewis is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a firsthand narrative of John Doyle Lee, a prominent member of the Danites—a secretive group within the Mormon Church—who confesses to his involvement in the notorious Mountain Meadows Massacre under the direction of Brigham Young. It explores Lee's life through the lens of his faith, the violent events he participated in, and the tumultuous backdrop of early Mormon history. The opening of the book introduces John Doyle Lee's childhood and early struggles, marked by a turbulent family life and a fierce desire for belonging and purpose. He recounts his experiences growing up in Illinois, detailing the hardships and conflicts that shaped him, including the death of his mother and the harsh treatment from his relatives. As an adolescent, Lee's journey leads him to the Mormon Church, where he becomes a dedicated follower of its teachings, eventually becoming a member of the feared Danites. This initial glimpse into Lee's life sets the stage for a deeper exploration of his role in the complexities and dark history of early Mormonism, the conflicts with non-Mormons, and the ideological and spiritual factors that influenced his actions.
