American Primeval: Unpacking the Dark Truths of Mormon History

American Primeval: Unpacking the Dark Truths of Mormon History

Netflix’s American Primeval dives into the brutal realities of the American frontier, including the complex and often violent relationships between Mormon settlers, the U.S. Army, and Native American tribes. While the show is historical fiction, it clearly portrays Brigham Young and early Mormon leaders as religious extremists willing to do anything—massacres included—to preserve their theocracy.


The show brings to light some of the darkest chapters in Mormon history, including the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre, where men, women, and children were slaughtered under the guise of religious loyalty. But how much of this portrayal is based on real history?


Join us as we break down the historical events that likely inspired American Primeval, separate fact from fiction, and discuss the brutal truths that shaped the early Mormon settlements in the West.
