Massacre, A Survey Of Today's American Indian.

ROBERT GESSNER

Publication: Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith 1931, New York

First edition. 8vo. Original red cloth, 418 pp., frontispiece, illustrated. The author attended government hearings, read official reports, and quotes vividly from those testifying about a failed system. A complete chapter is devoted to flogging of Indians at Indian schools and retaliation against those who reported it. This book does for the U. S. Government and its treatment of Indians what Sinclair Lewis's book did for the commercial meat packing industry. Very good bright and tight copy with professional reinforcement to front and rear spine channels, in price clipped dust jacket with light wear to the spine ends, corners, and extremities.
