“The Mormon teaching of unquestioning obedience to authority, added to the strict military law then in force in the Territory, would, in the eyes of their neighbors, relieve the men in the ranks of responsibility. For this reason, only a few went later into permanent hiding, and they were the men who had in positions of command.” — Juanita Brooks
