Synopsis "Lorinda Bewley And The Whitman Massacre"
Lorinda Bewley and the Whitman Massacre is a historical non-fiction book written by Myra Sager Helm. The book tells the story of Lorinda Bewley, a young girl who survived the infamous Whitman Massacre that took place in 1847 in present-day Washington State. The massacre was a tragic event in which a group of Cayuse Native Americans attacked and killed 14 people, including missionaries Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, who were trying to convert the Cayuse to Christianity.The book offers a detailed account of the events leading up to the massacre and the aftermath, including the trial and execution of five Cayuse warriors. It also explores the complex relationships between the Native American tribes and the white settlers who were encroaching on their land.Lorinda Bewley, who was just nine years old at the time of the massacre, was taken captive by the Cayuse and held for several months before being rescued by American troops. The book follows her journey as she tries to come to terms with the trauma of her experience and find a place in a world that has been forever changed by the violence she witnessed.Through Lorinda's story, the book sheds light on the larger historical context of the Whitman Massacre and its impact on the relationships between Native Americans and white settlers in the Pacific Northwest. It is a gripping and thought-provoking account of a tragic event in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
