Excellent book. The author gave very detailed descriptions of what happened. He did a great deal of research and it shows. I am horrified that this happened and isn't well known today. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys True Crime or history.

A terrible event that was well presented. An important read especially in with the ongoing discussion of critical race theory.

Yet another sad chapter in the history of Native Americans. Riveting and thought provoking. I'm glad to no longer be ignorant of this "Reign of Terror". I'm also encouraged by the those characters of high moral standards, red and white, and even more supportive of investigative journalism.
