 In the early morning of Monday, September 7 the Baker-Fancher party was attacked by as many or more than 200 Paiutes and Mormon militiamen disguised as Native Americans.Why John D. Lee changed the plans to attack the Wagon Train in the Santa Clara Narrows, and instead attacked at Mountain Meadows several days earlier, remains a mystery.The attackers were positioned in a small ravine south-east of the emigrant camp.
