Book Reviews of The Massacre at Fall Creek
Book Review: Historical fiction at its best!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was great. I used it to further enhance an understanding and foundation for Native Americans and their plight. This book shows how western expansion affected/effected the Natives and how America came to realize that they were human beings also and not just animals. Anyone who wants to gain an understanding of Native Americans through historical fiction will love the book.
Summary of The Massacre at Fall Creek
A dramatic, sweeping saga of life on the Indiana frontier in 1824, based on actual historical events. The Fall Creek Massacre was a unique occurrence-the first recorded instance of whites being formally charged with murder for killing Indians. Five whites were accused, tried by jury, convicted, and executed. West uses this historical record as the source for a fictional account of the events of the massacre and trial.
