Reviews
"This book is a little gem, a passionate and informed narrative about a shockingly invisible chapter of western American history." -- David Hurst Thomas, Winner of a 2009 National Council on Public History Book Award.""It's not easy to write two books in one, but Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh has done so. Massacre at Camp Grant thoroughly addresses both the history of the 1871 massacre and the construction of memory surrounding the event. . . . Elevates the event to the level of academic discussion, where it rightly belongs." -Western Historical Quarterly, Winner of a 2009 National Council on Public History Book Award.""It's not easy to write two books in one, but Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh has done so.

His way of interweaving the differing perspectives of the Camp Grant Massacre not only serves to place the specific event within a local context but also invokes larger questions on how events are recorded, selectively remembered, and easily forgotten as part of history. The book is written in a style that will be readily consumed by the serious researcher and the interested reader alike." -- Joe Watkins, Winner of a 2009 National Council on Public History Book Award "It's not easy to write two books in one, but Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh has done so.

Synopsis
On April 30, 1871, an unlikely group of Anglo-Americans, Mexican Americans, and Tohono Oodham Indians massacred more than a hundred Apache men, women, and children who had surrendered to the U.S. Army at Camp Grant, near Tucson, Arizona. Thirty or more Apache children were stolen and either kept in Tucson homes or sold into slavery in Mexico. Planned and perpetrated by some of the most prominent men in Arizonas territorial era, this organized slaughter has become a kind of phantom history lurking beneath the Southwests official history, strangely present and absent at the same time. Seeking to uncover the mislaid past, this powerful book begins by listening to those voices in the historical record that have long been silenced and disregarded. Massacre at Camp Grant fashions a multivocal narrative, interweaving the documentary record, Apache narratives, historical texts, and ethnographic research to provide new insights into the atrocity. Thus drawing from a range of sources, it demonstrates the ways in which painful histories continue to live on in the collective memories of the communities in which they occurred. Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh begins with the premise that every account of the past is suffused with cultural, historical, and political characteristics. By paying attention to all of these aspects of a contested event, he provides a nuanced interpretation of the cultural forces behind the massacre, illuminates how history becomes an instrument of politics, and contemplates why we must study events we might prefer to forget., On April 30, 1871, an unlikely group of Anglo-Americans, Mexican Americans, and Tohono O'odham Indians massacred more than a hundred Apache men, women, and children who had surrendered to the U.S. Army at Camp Grant, near Tucson, Arizona.
