Sometimes you go hunting for history. Sometimes history goes hunting for you. Last night, after a long day, I sat down to read an old magazine that my dad gave me last year. It had been sitting in the reading pile, but I just hadn't gotten around to it. Five minutes later I was making a copy of an article. It turns out that particular magazine had a particular article by a particular author who just happened to ask someone a particular question that just happened to answer a particular question in my research I hadn't been able to resolve yet.
That's the reason for publishing this website and asking the community if they have any old family photos are documents that mention or relate to the Bear River Massacre. You never know what someone's grandfather, great uncle, or friend wrote down in their diary or that letter to Mom in 1945. Who knows, maybe your closet has the one document that changes history!
