Description: Two-sided circular with advertisements for: "LIfe and confession of John D. Lee, the Mormon. With a full account of the Mountain Meadows Massacere and execution of Lee" and "Five years among the Indians" by Mary Barber. Both are illustrated with somewhat sensationalist depictions of the subject matter. Publications are priced "25 cents" and the bottom of "LIfe and confessions" reads, "Don't destroy this circular. Please keep it until the agent calls with the book"; and bottom of "Five years among the Indians": "This interesting work can be obtained only from the agent, who will soon call for this circular." Probable date for the publication of this circular is 1877, when "Life and confession" was first published by Barclay & Co. "Five years" was first published in 1872 and re-issued several times through 1900. Barclay & Co. were located in Philadelphia.
