1. 1. An American Genocide

   The United States and the California Indian Catastrophe, 1846–1873

   

   A meticulous, evidence-driven account of the mid-19th-century campaign of dispossession and violence against California’s Indigenous peoples, documenting how settlers, militias, and state authorities used massacres, bounties, forced removals, and legal and economic policies to destroy communities and lifeways; drawing on government records, militia reports, and contemporary correspondence, it argues that the coordinated nature and intent of these actions amounted to genocide and calls for historical recognition and accountability.
