Book excerpt: From bookcover: "More than one hundred years ago commenced one of the most pathetic and tragic episodes in the history of Anglo-Indian relations. Under the ruthless direction of General James H. Carleton and Christopher "Kit" Carson the Navajo Indian of New Mexico were rounded-up and driven to a disease ridden reservation on the banks of the Rio Pecos in east-central New Mexico--the infamous Bosque Redondo. The Long Walk, however, does not merely explore the Navajo roundup and the horrors of their internment at Fort Sumner. It offers instead the first truly detailed study of the Navajo Wars, their causes and aftermaths ... The insiduous slave raids, the encroachment of New Mexico sheepmen, the stupid and careless administration of Indian and military affairs, as well as the Navajos' innate desire for status through the acquisition of livestock, are clearly probed and documented."

Download or read book An American Genocide written by Benjamin Madley and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1846 and 1873, California’s Indian population plunged from perhaps 150,000 to 30,000. Benjamin Madley is the first historian to uncover the full extent of the slaughter, the involvement of state and federal officials, the taxpayer dollars that supported the violence, indigenous resistance, who did the killing, and why the killings ended. This deeply researched book is a comprehensive and chilling history of an American genocide. Madley describes pre-contact California and precursors to the genocide before explaining how the Gold Rush stirred vigilante violence against California Indians. He narrates the rise of a state-sanctioned killing machine and the broad societal, judicial, and political support for genocide. Many participated: vigilantes, volunteer state militiamen, U.S. Army soldiers, U.S. congressmen, California governors, and others. The state and federal governments spent at least $1,700,000 on campaigns against California Indians. Besides evaluating government officials’ culpability, Madley considers why the slaughter constituted genocide and how other possible genocides within and beyond the Americas might be investigated using the methods presented in this groundbreaking book.

Download or read book Murder State written by Brendan C. Lindsay and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the nineteenth century, the Euro-American citizenry of California carried out mass genocide against the Native population of their state, using the processes and mechanisms of democracy to secure land and resources for themselves and their private interests. The murder, rape, and enslavement of thousands of Native people were legitimized by notions of democracy—in this case mob rule—through a discreetly organized and brutally effective series of petitions, referenda, town hall meetings, and votes at every level of California government. Murder State is a comprehensive examination of these events and their early legacy. Preconceptions about Native Americans as shaped by the popular press and by immigrants’ experiences on the overland trail to California were used to further justify the elimination of Native people in the newcomers’ quest for land. The allegedly “violent nature” of Native people was often merely their reaction to the atrocities committed against them as they were driven from their ancestral lands and alienated from their traditional resources. In this narrative history employing numerous primary sources and the latest interdisciplinary scholarship on genocide, Brendan C. Lindsay examines the darker side of California history, one that is rarely studied in detail, and the motives of both Native Americans and Euro-Americans at the time. Murder State calls attention to the misuse of democracy to justify and commit genocide.
