Frontier Killing: Unmasking the Lies and Unveiling the True History of the American West

For centuries, the story of the American West has been told through the lens of myth and legend. Cowboys and Indians, wagon trains and shootouts, the taming of a wild and untamed land—these are the images that have shaped our collective imagination. But behind this romanticized facade lies a darker truth, a history of violence and dispossession that has been largely ignored or whitewashed.

In his groundbreaking book, Frontier Killing: Its Legacy of Lies and the Taking of the American West, historian W. Michael Gray uncovers this hidden history, exposing the systematic and deliberate campaign of genocide waged against Native Americans by the United States government and its agents. Drawing on extensive research, including eyewitness accounts, government documents, and archaeological evidence, Gray paints a chilling portrait of a nation founded on violence and theft.

Gray begins by dismantling the myth of the "vanishing Indian," showing how the vast majority of Native Americans were not killed by disease or warfare, but by deliberate acts of violence. He documents the massacres of entire villages, the burning of homes and crops, and the forced removal of Native Americans from their ancestral lands. He also exposes the role of the federal government in these atrocities, from the Indian Removal Act of 1830 to the establishment of reservations and the boarding school system.

Gray's meticulous research reveals the staggering scale of this genocide. He estimates that between 10 and 25 million Native Americans were killed during the westward expansion of the United States. This is a staggering number, far greater than the number of people killed in the Holocaust. Yet, this history has been largely hidden from view, buried beneath layers of myth and propaganda.

Why has this history been suppressed? Gray argues that it is because the story of Frontier Killing challenges the very foundations of American identity. It exposes the lie of a nation founded on freedom and equality, and reveals the true nature of its origins in violence and conquest.

But Frontier Killing is not simply a work of history. It is also a call to action. Gray argues that we cannot truly understand the present without confronting the past. We must acknowledge the legacy of Frontier Killing and its impact on Native Americans today. We must work to heal the wounds of the past and build a more just and equitable future.

Frontier Killing is a powerful and disturbing book. It is a book that will challenge your understanding of American history and force you to confront the dark side of our nation's past. But it is also a book of hope. It is a book that reminds us that the truth can be a powerful force for change, and that we have the power to create a better future.
