	Danite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During their brief period of formal organization in Missouri, the Danites operated as a vigilante group and took a central role in the events of the Mormon War.
		A second outpost of Danites had been organized in Daviess County under the leadership of Lyman Wight, who was also a colonel in the state militia.
		The existence of the Danites from June 1838 until the end of the Mormon War, and their participation in key events is well attested.

	Danites
		Thus was born the legend of the Danites.
		Though no Danite organization was known in Nauvoo or in Utah, the stereotype persisted, becoming a part of national discussion about Utah and the Latter-day Saints and for decades a staple of dime novels (see Mormons, Image of: in Fiction).
		Evidence suggests that during this time of fear, clashes, and confusion, Sampson Avard, probably a captain within the public Danite structure and a militia officer, subverted the ideals of both by persuading his men to undertake the criminal activities he later argued were the authorized actions of the whole community.

	Mormons and Danites: The Historical Background in Missouri
		The Danites apparently were organized in June of 1838 to defend the Mormons from internal enemies who had stirred up much prejudice and even violence against the Saints.
		Danite efforts may have resulted in excesses in this regard as well, with unnecessary items taken and, as Avard had taught his men, brought to the storehouse to be "consecrated" to the Saints.
		As discussed above, Avard's secretive Danites and the "public Danites" - meaning the entire Mormon armies, the Armies of Israel - were separate organizations, and the leaders of the Armies of Israel were not the leaders of the Danites, though some of them were Danites.

	Are the Melungeons the Lost Tribes of Israel?
		In Ezekiel 27:19 the Danites have a settlement in Javan (Greece).
		The tribal symbol of the Danites is the adder snake, this was the symbol on their camp standard beginning in the wilderness, on relics found in the places where they traveled, and on Israelite Jewish temples and synagogues like the one on Central Park, Fifth Avenues and sixty-fifth Street in New York.
		A group of six hundred unruly Danites felt their lot was way too small, so they stubbornly traveled north and took Leshem (Laish) from the Zidonian Canaanites by war, without council from the elders of Israel, defying the laws of war, Deuteronomy 20:10-12, Proverbs 20:18.

		He stated that the members were bound by their covenants to execute the orders of the priesthood, and that when a direct order or intimation was given to "use up" anyone, it was always executed by one or more of the members, according to the circumstances of the case.
		The church authorities used the law of the land, the laws of the church, and Danites, to enforce their orders and rid the community of those who were distasteful to the leaders.
		That the Danites were bound by their covenants to execute the criminal orders of the high priesthood against apostates and alleged enemies of the church is beyond question.

	Discussion: 89. Lot of Dan
		The Danite experience possibly constitutes the paradigm for all movements and migrations of the tribes of Israel during the period of settlement.
		Three references in ancient Hebrew poetry reflect the history of the Danites during the period of the Judges and the beginning of the monarchy.
		Jacob's blessing appears to reflect the earliest period in the history of the Danites, describing a tribe which, on the one hand, is struggling for recognition, participation, and responsibility within the tribal confederacy (Gen. 49:16) and, on the other, is fighting for its survival against nomadic tribes or even the Amorites (49:17).

	The 1838 Mormon War and Tales of the "Danites"
		Joseph was not the mastermind behind the Danites, but he gave them at least partial support initially, and his encouragement of militant action to defend the Saints may have made it easier for Avard and his Danites to flourish.
		Avard said Joseph was the one behind the Danites, that he was guilty of many great crimes against the Missourians, and that Danites swore to kill any who revealed their secrets or fought against Joseph Smith and the Church.
		Even in the early Danite meetings, contentions had arisen over the volatile and secretive tendencies of its leaders It was during this period that some Church members began to distrust Sidney Rigdon, who may have supported the band by his incendiary public rhetoric.

		Danite Lorenzo D. Young later wrote of his opposition to those teachings and of his brother Brigham's warning to beware of Avard.
		To the contrary, he later described taking orders from Seymour Brunson (a Danite officer) for Lorenzo and Albert P. Rockwood (another Danite) to "patrol the country every night" and to demand the "countersign" (which Shurtliff described as Danite).

		The name "Danite was applied to four or five of these early lawmen by the Eastern Press because of an earlier semi-religious organization begun in Missouri in l838 by Dr. Sampson Avard.
		There continued to be isolated incidences attributed to the "Danites" in Anti-Mormon books and press articles until the railroad came to the territory in l869.
		However, the name "Danite" continues to excite readers and historians of the early Utah period, even though the evidence of excessive wrong doing outside the law, appears to be greatly exaggerated.

		The Danites comprised most of the 400 or so Mormon men who surrendered along with Smith and Rigdon to state militia forces at Far West.
		Smith, Rigdon, and several other Danite leaders were arrested, and spent the next few months in jail awaiting trial on treason and murder charges.
		Meaning, Smith didn't "disband the maverick body"; rather, the Danites were disbanded because they were either in jail or had moved to Illinois.

		But the Danites would not give up the horse, saying that a wounded man could not continue the fight, and as Billy had not killed his foe, the animal could not be claimed by them.
		The Danites opened a perfect fusillade of pistol-shots upon the boy, but they flew harmlessly by him, and a number mounted and gave pursuit in hot haste.

		Hickman was not a Mormon during the Danite heyday in Missouri, and there is no reliable evidence that the Danites, as such, survived after 1838 as an organization.
		Hilton, however, put the matter in perspective when she said that he "continued to espouse the Danite philosophy." While it is true that the original organization ceased to exist in the late 1830's, it is also clear that the church had men in early Utah who performed exactly the same function.
		Blood atonement was, of course, a form of capital punishment, Yet because of its theological implications, and because the Council of Fifty was to administer it, the doctrine was surrounded with an aura of mystery, terror, and holy murder.

		I took exceptions only to the teachings as to the duties of that [Danite] society, wherein it was said, if one brother got into difficulty, it was the duty of the rest to help him out, right or wrong.
		I attended two or three Danite meetings, and it was thought there, as a part of the duty of the band, that they should support the presidency in all their designs, right or wrong.
		I heard Avard on one occasion say, that the Danites were to consecrate their surplus property, and to come in by tens to do so: and if they lied about it, he said Peter killed Ananias and Sapphira, and that would be an example for us.

		When President Smith stated that the Danites met on August 4 for the "third time in Adamondiahman," it is clear that he was looking back to the meetings of July 21 and 28 as the first and second.
		But, in the period between July 14 and September 1, 1838, in Daviess County, the Danites, for all their violent rhetoric (which undoubtedly played a catalytic role in preparing for actual violence later), by comparison with their later deeds, were relatively quiet.
		Nonetheless, it must be recognized that the secret continuance of such a militant group of vigilantes among the Latter-day Saints, with or without the guidance of the First Presidency, was a dangerous expedient which ultimately paved the way for the expulsion of the Mormons from the State of Missouri.

		I was continually in the society of the presidency, receiving instructions from them as to the teachings of the Danite band; and I continually informed them of my teachings; and they were well apprised of my course and teachings in the Danite society.
		I think the original object of the Danite band was to operate, on the dissenters but afterwards it grew into a system to carry out the designs of the presidency; and, if necessary to use physical force to upbuild the kingdom of God; it was to be done by them.

		If you knew anything about the Danites, you'd know that they were Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon's secret "enforcement squadron," made up of men who would swear an oath of unquestioning obedience to church leaders, drive off dissenters, and "assist in the utter destruction of apostates."
		If you knew anything about the Danites, you'd know that portions of their oath of initation were incorporated into Joseph Smith's 1842 "temple endowment ceremony"; and that the Danite oaths of loyalty, obedience, and vengeance against 'apostates' remained in the temple endowment ceremony into the early 1900's.
		And if you knew anything about the Danites, you'd know that many of the men who planned and committed the MMM in 1857 had been Danites in MIssouri in 1838, or swore to the above oaths in the Endowment House in SLC under Brigham Young's reign.

		Most of the Danite leaders were speedily excommunicated, and the incident defined more clearly for the whole Church the religious ethic of forbearance, which later guided Mormon response to the forced exodus from Nauvoo.
		Fiction writers, however, were eager to incorporate aspects of the Danite myth into their literature, beginning with the false assumption that there was a functioning Danite organization in Utah.
		The first, Frederick Marryat, introduced the Danite myth into fiction when he plugged into his work almost verbatim passages from contemporary anti-Mormon chronicles.

		However, there is stronger evidence that the heart of the reformation was instead personal reformation, communal economic innovations, and a dramatic increase in the number of those entering plural marriage.
		Seeing Danites everywhere, it is only a small step for Denton to conclude that the Mountain Meadows massacre was the work of Mormon Danites under orders of the Mormon prophet Brigham Young.
		In the final analysis, the deepest disappointment is this: In finding a Danite under every cedar and sage in frontier Utah, Denton unwittingly robbed American Massacre of the fascinating complexity of authentic history.
