Description

William M. Osborn (au). The real story of the ordeal experienced by both settlers & Indians during the Europeans’ great migration west across America, from the colonies to California, in truth was a horrifying & appalling experience. Osborn discusses the changing settler attitude toward the Indians over several centuries, as well as Indian & settler characteristics -- the Indian love of warfare, for instance, & the settlers’ irresistible desire for the land occupied by the Indians. The atrocities described draw upon thousands of eyewitness accounts, & led to the deaths of more than 9,000 settlers & 7,000 Indians. Most of these events were not only horrible but bizarre.
