FCC BOOK CLUB

The book for October 12th meeting of the FCC book group is “Murder at the Mission: A Frontier Killing, Its Legacy of Lies, and the Taking of the American West’ by Blaine Harden.

Tom Egan, in a review for the New York Times, writes “… a terrifically readable account of one of the most persistent “alternative facts” in American History: the story of a missionary, a tribe, a massacre, and a myth that shaped the American West.

“Exposing the hucksterism and self-interest at the root of American myth-making, Murder at the Mission reminds us of the cost of American expansion, and the problems that can arise when history is told only by the victors.”

We meet on Tuesday, October 12th, 4:30-5:30, by zoom at this link:
