{"product_id":"unsettled-ground-2","title":"Unsettled Ground","description":"A highly-readable, myth-busting history of the Whitman Massacre—a pivotal event in the history of the American West—that includes the often-missing Native American point of view.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1836, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, devout missionaries from upstate New York, established a Presbyterian mission on Cayuse Indian land near what is now the fashionable wine capital of Walla Walla, Washington. Eleven years later, a group of Cayuses killed the Whitmans and eleven others in what became known as the Whitman Massacre. The attack led to a war of retaliation against the Cayuse; the extension of federal control over the present-day states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming; and martyrdom for the Whitmans. Today, however, the Whitmans are more likely to be demonized as colonizers than revered as heroes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “[Tate] tells the Cayuse’s side of the story with empathy and clarity . . . a meticulously researched book.” —The Seattle Times","brand":"Blue Star Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57201526309199,"sku":"9781632172501","price":42.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781632172501_1-unsettled-ground.jpg?v=1773004220","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/unsettled-ground-2","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
