Deseret News records Brigham Young teaching that the Church and its members never harmed anyone.
"The Celebration of the Twenty-Fourth," Deseret News 19, no 25 (July 27, 1870): 6
Did we ever injury an individual? Not one. I will say here that gentlemen, if they may be called so, those in human shape, hudnreds and thousands of them have been here and after receiving the kindness of the people would say, "What can we do for you?" They have never received but one answer, "Tell the truth about us; that is all we ask of you." But instead of doing this, they have written from east to west, and from noth to south "the Mormons pained," "Mormons in blankets," "Mormon thieves," "Mormon Indians," "Mormons massacreing the emigrants," "Mormons doing this and that wrong," which is palpably all of it false from beginning to end. But that is the reward we received in many instances; not in all.
