Use of sources: Indians raising "allies" to help in the massacre at Mountain Meadows?



Anonymous source: "Argus"
A FAIR Analysis of: Blood of the Prophets: Brigham Young and the Massacre at Mountain Meadows, a work by author: Will Bagley
 		Double standards of skepticism

Will Bagley claims that Dimmick Huntington's journal discusses Indians raising "allies" to help in the massacre at Mountain Meadows which he claims Brigham is orchestrating.

Source(s) of the criticism

Hoping to indict Brigham Young in the Mountain Meadows massacre, Bagley — a professional historian — seriously distorts the historical record.

Raising allies?

Quote used... The rest of the story...
Bagley quotes D.B. Huntington, Brigham Young's interpreter, as saying that the Piedes band of Indians were "afraid to fight the Americans & so would raise [allies]" (brackets by Bagley).

Huntington's journal entry for 1 September 1857 actually says they were "afraid to fight the Americans & so would raise grain.
