An American Genocide: The United States and the California Indian Catastrophe, 1846-1873 - Benjamin Madley 2016
Between 1846 and 1873, California’s Indian population plunged from perhaps 150,000 to 30,000. Benjamin Madley is the first historian to uncover the full extent of the slaughter, the involvement of state and federal officials, the taxpayer dollars that supported the violence, indigenous resistance, who did the killing, and why the killings ended. This deeply researched book is a comprehensive and chilling history of an American genocide.
Madley describes precontact California and precursors to the genocide before explaining how the Gold Rush stirred vigilante violence against California Indians. He narrates the rise of a state-sanctioned killing machine and the broad societal, judicial, and political support for genocide. Many participated: vigilantes, volunteer state militiamen, US Army soldiers, US congressmen, California governors, and others. The state and federal governments spent at least $1.7 million on campaigns against California Indians. Besides evaluating government officials’ culpability, Madley considers why the slaughter constituted genocide and how other possible genocides within and beyond the Americas might be investigated using the methods presented in this groundbreaking book.

Abee, Thanks!
If anyone has “This Land Is Their Land: The Wampanoag Indians, Plymouth Colony, and the Troubled History of Thanksgiving” by David J. Silverman it would be great to hear that.

Thank you for this one. But damn, I should have never left grad school (SUNY-B, Am Hst MA/PhD). So many truly notable new historical works have been coming out over the past 15+ years. And, academia is now a site of real struggle, not a place where radical leftists get marginalized. (And in the low-wage service industries outside of academia, it’s difficult to find time to read, or even to afford many books; hence the audiobook download!)
