Book excerpt: "Five dollars a scalp presents the Indians' side of American history as perhaps never before in connection with a notorious Indian masacre--in some ways our nation's most historic massacre by Indians. The attack occurred on August 30, 1813, at Fort Mims, Alabama, and within a short time an estimated 1,000 Creek Indians had scalped and burned 370 or more men, wome, and children."--Jacket.
