Synopsis
Master of the literary Western Larry McMurtry explores real-life Wild West events in this harrowing nonfiction chronicle of six separate occasions in which mass murder took place on the 19th-century American frontier. As in present-day massacres, fear and greed clearly served as major factors in sparking these events: the 1846 slaughter of Native Americans at Sacramento River; the 1857 Mormon/Paiute attack on prospective Utah settlers at Mountain Meadows, the 1864 massacre of Cheyenne in Sand Creek; the 1870 murder of Blackfeet Indians already ill with smallpox at Marias River; the 1871 deaths of Apache at Camp Grant, and the 1890 slaughter of Sioux at Wounded Knee.
