{"product_id":"9781632172501","title":"Unsettled Ground","description":"Washington State Book Award Finalist A highly-readable, myth-busting history of the Whitman Massacre—a pivotal event in the history of the American West—that includes the often-missing Indian point of view In 1836, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, devout missionaries from upstate New York, established a Presbyterian mission on Cayuse Indian land near what is now the fashionable wine capital of Walla Walla, Washington. Eleven years later, a group of Cayuses killed the Whitmans and eleven others in what became known as the Whitman Massacre. The attack led to a war of retaliation against the Cayuse; the extension of federal control over the present-day states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming; and martyrdom for the Whitmans. Today, however, the Whitmans are more likely to be demonized as colonizers than revered as heroes.  “[Tate] tells the Cayuse’s side of the story with empathy and clarity . . . a meticulously researched book.” —The Seattle Times","brand":"Cassandra Tate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46963947798846,"sku":"9781632172501","price":577.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781632172501_2f9289d3-cba8-448a-8506-f41d651b0c69.jpg?v=1707574550","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781632172501","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
