BYU Studies Volume 47, Number 3 is a special issue dedicated to the Mountain Meadows massacre. The issue's main focus is to present historical documents related to the 1857 tragedy.

Guest Editors' Introduction: Richard E. Turley Jr. and Ronald W. Walker introduce the issue and its contents, which are a companion to their book, Massacre at Mountain Meadows.

The Andrew Jenson Collection: This section includes interviews conducted in 1892 by historian Andrew Jenson. The interviews are with several Utahns who had direct or secondhand information about the massacre, including Mary S. Campbell, Mary H. White, and others.

The David H. Morris Collection: This collection contains affidavits and statements gathered by attorney David H. Morris. Notable documents include letters and statements from John W. Judd, J. G. Sutherland, and Nephi Johnson.

Articles: The issue features two articles that address scholarly challenges in studying the massacre. Richard E. Turley Jr.'s article discusses "Problems with Mountain Meadows Massacre Sources," while Ronald W. Walker's piece, "Mormon Memories and the Tragedy at Mountain Meadows," explores how the event has been remembered within the Church.

Book Reviews: The issue includes reviews of the comprehensive narrative book Massacre at Mountain Meadows and House of Mourning: A Biocultural History of the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
