Críticas:

"Becher's Massacre along the Medicine Road is the magnum opus of this decade, as far as I am concerned. Becher doesn't start right off with the war whoops. Rather, he lays the foundation for the tragedy carefully, starting with Powhatan and the Jamestown settlers. Then to New England and the more peaceable relations between whites and Indians. Becher is interested in telling the story as his research told it to him. He is not interested in being delicate. In a passage which is disturbingly similar to the Japanese atrocities in Borneo in the opening days of World War II, he writes about the discovery of the bodies of the victims of the Plum Creek Massacre. For what he has done with this book, he deserves a Pulitzer Prize." - Gregory M. Franzwa, Folio Magazine

Reseña del editor:

In August 1864, Cheyenne and Sioux warriors launched a series of raids on the "road ranches" along the California-Oregon Train in Nebraska Territory, killing, wounding or capturing dozens of white settlers. "Massacre along the Medicine Road" details that violent summer, as seen through the eyes of the people who were the targets of the attacks.
