Ana Maria Spagna, author and professor, will discuss her book “PUSHED: Miners, a Merchant, and (Maybe) a Massacre” on Thursday, May 23rd at 6pm. The event is free, open to the public, but seating will be limited.
About this Program:
Consulting historians, archaeologists, Indigenous elders, and even a grave dowser, Spagna uncovers three possible versions of the event: Native people as perpetrators. White people as perpetrators. It didn’t happen at all. Pushed: Miners, a Merchant, and (Maybe) a Massacre replaces convenient narratives of the American West with nuance and complexity, revealing the danger in forgetting or remembering atrocities when history is murky and asking what allegiance to a place requires.
