etween 1846 and 1873, Califor-
nia’s Indian population plunged
% from perhaps 150,000 to 30,000.
Benjamin Madley is the first his-
torian to uncover the full extent of the
slaughter. He reveals the involvement of
state and federal officials, the taxpayer dol-
lars that supported the violence, indigenous
resistance, and who did the killing and why
the killings ended. This deeply researched
book is a comprehensive and chilling history
of an American genocide.
Madley describes pre-contact California
and precursors to the genocide before ex-
plaining how the gold rush stirred vigilan-
i
te violence against California Indians. He
narrates the rise of a state-sanctioned kill-
ing machine and broad societal, judicial, and
political support for genocide. Many partici-
pated: vigilantes, volunteer state militiamen,
U.S. Army soldiers, U.S. congressmen, Cali-
fornia governors, and others. Ultimately, the
state and federal governments spent more
than $1,700,000 on campaigns against Cal-
ifornia Indians. Besides evaluating govern-
ment officials’ culpability, Madley considers
why the slaughter constituted genocide and
how other possible genocides within and be-
yond the Americas might be investigated us-
ing the methods presented in this ground-
breaking book. |
