The massacre defined the history of the West by ensuring that there could be no peace between white settlers and Plains Indians. Today  Sand Creek stands out as one of the most notorious instances of injustice in our nations history. In The Massacre at Sand Creek  Bruce Cutler retells  in a powerful narrative  the events surrounding this atrocity. He remains faithful to historical fact  but  through a lyrical and poetic version of this tragedy  elicits a dimension of feeling that history books could never call forth. The Massacre at Sand Creek bridges the gap between literature and history. At once informative and imaginative  it offers new insight into an American tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986176176181,"sku":"ByrdShop_0806127309","price":23.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780806127309.jpg?v=1770890660","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-massacre-at-sand-creek-narrative-voices-american-indian-literature-critical-studies-series","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
