In today's Salt Lake Tribune, page B4, referring to a lead sheet allegedly inscribed by Mountain Meadows Massacre participant John D. Lee:
"Curators at the Western Archaeological and Conservation Center in Tucson, Ariz., examined the scroll and were unable to determine the age of the lead sheet, which measures 31.5 centimeters wide and 39.5 centimeters long." An aside: If you are not familiar with the Mountain Meadows Massacre, it is one of the worst massacres to occur on American soil. In September 1857, a group of Mormons and Indians massacred about 120 immigrants from Arkansas in a meadow in southern Utah.
