Friday, November 21, 2014. Post 9 (Week 11) As the World Turns: Sand Creek, History, Memory. Reading Ari Kelman’s A Misplaced Massacre Struggling Over the Memory of Sand Creek. Was a bit like watching a long-running, never-ending soap opera. With an ever-expanding array of characters, some from central casting, entering and leaving the story, Kelman’s book brings to life the truism that history matters, and matters of history are messy.

American West: September 2014
http://dougrodgers.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2014. Steven Lubet faced a difficult task in writing this book on the most famous gunfight in the US West during its "frontier" days: to provide a fresh look at a subject that has been thoroughly saturated in popular culture, mythology, and, less so, in academic history. As a law professor, Lubet can view the topic through a different lens, that of a practicing attorney. Sunday, September 21, 2014. Post #3: Brian DeLay, War of a Thousand Deserts.
