Hawn's Mill massacre
Massacre of Mormons at Caldwell County, Missouri, US
The Hawn’s Mill Massacre occurred on October 30, 1838, when a mob and militia unit from Livingston County, Missouri, attacked a Mormon settlement in eastern Caldwell County, Missouri, after the Battle of Crooked River. By far the bloodiest event in the 1838 Mormon War in Missouri, it has long been remembered by the members of the Latter Day Saint movement.
