Hawns Mill Part One:  Saints at Hawns Mill

"On October 30, 1838, segments of the Missouri militia attacked a settlement of Mormons at Jacob Haun's mill, located on Shoal Creek in eastern Caldwell County, Missouri. Because the attack was made by a vastly superior force with what was perceived as unusual brutality for the time, it has come to be known as "The Haun's Mill Massacre." It was one incident in the conflict between the Missourians and the Latter Day Saints that resulted in the LDS expulsion from the state in 1839."
