Changing Hands Bookstore, dimarts, abril 3, 2012 a les 7pm
7PM TUESDAY, APRIL 3 Meet Karl Jacoby: Shadows at Dawn Karl Jacoby Historian Karl Jacoby visits with his book Shadows at Dawn: An Apache Massacre and the Violence of History, his reconstruction of one of the worst Indian massacres on record.
In 1871, a group of Americans, Mexicans, and Tohono O'odham Indians surrounded an Apache village at dawn and murdered nearly 150 men, women, and children in their sleep. Jacoby draws on oral histories, contemporary newspaper reports, and the participants' own accounts to bring the incident to life and paint a panorama of the Old American Southwest as complex, diverse, and morally ambiguous.

Kennedy Book Award and the Albert Beveridge Award of the American Historical Association, among other prizes. Jacoby is also the author of Crimes against nature: Squatters, Poachers, Thieves, and the Hidden History of American Conservation. More »
