Turley discuss insights from their research on the Utah War and the Mountain Meadows Massacre. From the Miller Eccles website:<br /> Rick Turley was formerly Assistant Church Historian and is currently managing director of the Public Affairs Department of the Church. Bill MacKinnon is an independent, award winning historian of the American West, who was recently president of the Mormon History Association.</p> <div class="mceTemp"> <em><strong>THE TOPIC: </strong></em>Over the decades, Richard Turley and William MacKinnon have researched and written extensively about Utah’s long, contentious territorial period. They approach the subject from quite different  religious, educational, military, professional, geographical, and even generational backgrounds. Despite (or perhaps because of) such differences, these two historians are close personal friends and respectful colleagues, whose work has been enriched by the informal and stimulating exchange of discoveries and ideas over more than twenty years. Rick and Bill have often shared a platform to discuss their findings and to learn from audiences in such varied settings as the LDS stake center in Norman, Oklahoma  and  annual conferences of the Mormon History Association in many parts of the country. </p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.dialoguejournal.com/diablogue/dialogue-podcast-39-w-william-mackinnon-and-richard-e-turley/">Dialogue Lectures #39 w/William MacKinnon and Richard E.
