Book Synopsis Oh what a Slaughter by : Larry McMurtry
Book excerpt: Here are the true stories of the West's most terrible massacres -- Sacramento River, Mountain Meadows, Sand Creek, Marias River, Camp Grant, and Wounded Knee, among others. These massacres involved Americans killing Indians, but also Indians killing Americans, and, in the case of the hugely controversial Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857, Mormons slaughtering a party of American settlers, including women and children. From letters and diaries, McMurtry recalls the full horror of these events, as well as the deep, constant apprehension and dread endured by both pioneers and Indians.
