The conquest

Description

This book is about the conflict that transpired when the white men began taking over Indian land. This time of death, tragedy, hardship, and conflict were a part of daily life for both whites and Indians. Men, Women and children who lived through these times have left written accounts, and their words are heard frequently in the pages of this book. (Taken from dust cover - Joyce Larsen) The horror and shock of reading about surviving during the time when the whites were pouring into Oregon and Washington leaves you gasping in astonishment that anyone survived.
