Fountain Green massacre
The Fountain Green massacre is one of the more frequently cited examples of violence between Utes and Mormon colonists surrounding the so-called Walker War. There is a Daughters of the Utah Pioneers monument (no. 172) memorializing the Fountain Green Massacre located in City Park in Fountain Green, UT.
==Event==
In the early hours of the morning of October 1, 1853, Utes of Sanpitch attacked and killed four men—William Reed, James Nelson, William Luke, and Thomas Clark—as they were encamped at Uinta Springs, near the head of Salt Creek Canyon. The men were driving two ox-drawn wagons filled with wheat to Salt Lake City as the advance party of a larger group headed by local Manti Mormon leader Isaac Morley. William Luke, an immigrant from Manchester, England, was anxious to go see his three sons, who had recently arrived from England, and may have encouraged the group to hasten its journey. The four men camped at Uinta Springs against Morley's instructions, which had been for the group of men to make camp on the San Pitch River and await the arrival of the main group.
When Morley's group arrived at the camp, they found William Reed stripped, scalped, and disemboweled a short distance from the wagons. Luke and Clark's throats were cut, and they were also disemboweled. The Morley party emptied the wagons of their grain and the loaded the bodies for transport to Nephi, Utah. As the party readied to move on, numerous Utes appeared on the hillside. Morley, angry over the disobedience to his orders, denied the men burial in the town cemetery. Their remains remain lost to this day, in spite of several attempts to locate them.
