ebooks Martin Luther: A Life (Penguin Lives) by Martin E. Marty in History

Description

A masterful reconstruction of one of the worst Indian massacres in American history In April 1871; a group of Americans; Mexicans; and Tohono O?odham Indians surrounded an Apache village at dawn and murdered nearly 150 men; women; and children in their sleep. In the past century the attack; which came to be known as the Camp Grant Massacre; has largely faded from memory. Now; drawing on oral histories; contemporary newspaper reports; and the participants? own accounts; prize-winning author Karl Jacoby brings this perplexing incident and tumultuous era to life to paint a sweeping panorama of the American Southwest?a world far more complex; diverse; and morally ambiguous than the traditional portrayals of the Old West.
