A reader response to the editor of Polly Aird's review in the Spring 2010 Journal of Mormon History of "Innocent Blood: Essential Narratives of the Mountain Meadows Massacre," edited by David L. Bigler and Will Bagley, concerning the use of a Mark Hofmann forgery. The document in question was William Edward's affidavit which had been taken at face value when cited in Ronald W. Walker, Richard E. Turley, Jr., and Glen M. Leonard, Massacre at Mountain Meadows: An American Tragedy (New York: Oxford University Press, 2008). It is now considered a forgery.
