Forthcoming Book
It seems highly irregular to dedicate half of this article to speculation on an unfinished book. Shouldn't we more responsibly wait for the book to be published and read it in its entirety before referring to it? Tom (hawstom) 15:10, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Utah Basin Explorer Commentary
In "Report of explorations across the great basin of the territory of Utah for a direct wagon-route from Camp Floyd to Genoa, in Carson Valley, in 1859, by Captain J. H. Simpson ... Made by authority of the secretary of war and under instructions from Bvt. Brig. Gen. A. S. Johnson" the author made note of the Mormon's claim that "Py-eeds" (Pah-utes / Paiutes) joined in the killing was "utterly absurd and impossible." -- (Added by Desertphile)
