A Massacre at Dawn

Arizona Territory, April 30, 1871. The canyon known as Aravaipa lies still in the predawn darkness, the only sounds to be heard in the early-morning calm the song of birds and the lilt of running water as it courses its way toward the nearby San Pedro River. But upon this paradise all hell is about to break loose.
With Native American land being squeezed and squeezed by settlers, and relations becoming more and more violent as indigenous customs are degraded and exterminated, things are at breaking point in Arizona. Nearly 500 native men, women, and children have moved into the US military base, Camp Grant, for protection, yet, the Tucson Committee of Public Safety still see them as a threat. Listen as William and Anita are once again joined by Karl Jacoby as they discuss the Camp Grant Massacre and finish the story of 'How the West was Won'.

As a U.S. American, I think a big part of the reason the academy doesn’t make a bigger impact on public understanding is that who many people in the U.S. public are so invested in the worthy narrative of the US as “The City of the Hill,” in the myth, and willfully avoid or reject data that challenges that narrative.

I've only recently discovered your wonderful podcast. Too early to put i a request, but have you looked at the short lived Italian Empire? The story of Amedeo Guillet and his adventures is one that would fit in with your usual. It is told in Sebastian O'Kelly, "Amedeo: The True Story of an Italian's War in Abyssinia"
