Great Basin Quotes

“The area was like a gigantic moonscape of bleached sand, salt flats, and mountain ranges inhabited by small bands no larger than extended families. Early travelers to the West did not hide their contempt for these "digger Indians", who lacked both horses and weapons. These vulnerable Paiutes, as they were known, had become easy prey for other, mounted Indians.”
― Andrés Reséndez, The Other Slavery: The Uncovered Story of Indian Enslavement in America
