The Crime Against The Yakimas (1913)

The Crime Against The Yakimas is a historical book written by Lucullus Virgil McWhorter and originally published in 1913. The book tells the story of the Yakima Indian tribe and their struggles against the encroachment of white settlers in the Pacific Northwest during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. McWhorter, who was himself a white settler in the region, provides a detailed account of the conflicts between the Yakimas and the US government, which resulted in the loss of their lands, displacement, and cultural destruction. The book also sheds light on the role of missionaries, traders, and military officials in the exploitation and mistreatment of the Yakima people. McWhorter's work is considered an important contribution to the history of Native American tribes in the United States and a powerful indictment of the injustices they have faced.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
