Book Review

The Bear River Massacre and the Making of History. By Kass Fleisher. (Albany: State University of New York Press, 2004. xvi + 348 pp. Bibliography, index. $71.50, cloth; $23.95, paper.)

Tragically, few historians understand or even know what happened at the Bear River Massacre, 29 January 1863, in southeastern Idaho's Cache Valley. Or, perhaps many do know, but if that is the case, few have spoken or written about the massacre. Kass Fleisher asks, among other questions, why so few people speak of that wintry morning when Colonel Patrick Connor and several hundred California volunteer soldiers destroyed the Northwestern Shoshoni encampment, killing nearly three hundred men, women, and children. Fleisher summarizes the events, tells her own story of how she stumbled across the topic, and interviews several key players in the massacre's scholarship and commemoration.
