Shadows at Dawn: A Borderlands Massacre and the Violence of History

Shadows at Dawn is the fascinating story-actually four stories, a southwestern Rashomon-of the massacre of Apaches near Tueson on April 30, 1871, by Anglos, Mexicans, and other Indians. Extending over four hundred years, centering on that awful event, this book is impressively researched and a major contribution to the history of clashing cultures and memories of the desert frontier.
