The Sons of Gunshooter: A Navajo Resistance Story

內容簡介

內容簡介 An inspiring new take on a history we thought we knew In 1919, the brother of one of the West's most famous Indian traders was shot to death in a remote corner of the Navajo Nation. Part history, part true crime, The Sons of Gunshooter reexamines the killing and subsequent murder trial, while simultaneously embedding the story in a much larger saga of colonization and resistance. The result is a book that's sweeping in its scope and surgical in its approach. Rewinding the clock to 1868, the authors follow the intertwining paths of two families to offer a riveting, deeply personal account that has been hailed as "a new way of doing historiography." One of the authors is a descendant of participants in the case; the other is an investigative journalist. By merging Diné oral traditions with archival evidence, they succeed in upending one false narrative after another.
