{"product_id":"unsettled-ground","title":"Unsettled Ground","description":"\u003cb\u003eA highly-readable, myth-busting history of the Whitman Massacre—a pivotal event in the history of the American West—that includes the often-missing Native American point of view.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 1836, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, devout missionaries from upstate New York, established a Presbyterian mission on Cayuse Indian land near what is now the fashionable wine capital of Walla Walla, Washington. Eleven years later, a group of Cayuses killed the Whitmans and eleven others in what became known as the Whitman Massacre. The attack led to a war of retaliation against the Cayuse; the extension of federal control over the present-day states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming; and martyrdom for the Whitmans. Today, however, the Whitmans are more likely to be demonized as colonizers than revered as heroes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “[Tate] tells the Cayuse’s side of the story with empathy and clarity . . . a meticulously researched book\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e”\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eThe Seattle Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57315416342910,"sku":"NW9781632172501","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781632172501.jpg?v=1778685446","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/unsettled-ground","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
