Chip Colwell: Massacre at Camp Grant, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Winner of a National Council on Public History Book Award, Massacre at Camp Granttells the tale of the 1871 massacre of more than a hundred Apache men, women, and children who had surrendered to the U. S. Army at Camp Grant, near Tucson, Arizona. Thirty or more Apache children were stolen and either kept in Tucson homes or sold into slavery in Mexico. Planned and perpetrated by some of the most prominent men in Arizona's territorial era, this organized slaughter has become a kind of "phantom history" lurking beneath the Southwest's official history, strangely present and absent at the same time. Seeking to uncover the mislaid past, this powerful book begins by listening to those voices in the historical record that have long been silenced and disregarded.
