Date: July 16th, 2025 3:03 AM Author: Mega Rich Light-Bending Guy i think he was part native the book we had in middle school US history class had a brief "blurb" side-paragraph about him, maybe three sentences long. the one i was flipping through at the used bookstore from 2018 or so had an entire page with a biography and citations and it was about half the length of the treatment of the massacre in its entirety |
