Descriere

In an attempt to "civilize" Native Americans in the 1860s, U.S. soldiers forced thousands of Navajo to march 400 miles from their homeland to a desolate reservation. Hundreds died along the way, and the survivors found unspeakable living conditions at their destination. This powerfully written narrative sheds a fresh light on a shameful episode in American history. Full-color illustrations.
