Abstract
Through an in-depth recreation of a single incident—the "Camp Grant Massacre" of 1871, in which some 150 Apache women and children were killed by a mixed force of Anglos, Mexican Americans, and Tohono O'odham Indians—this project examines the roots of inter-ethnic violence in the nineteenth-century US-Mexico borderlands, while also exploring one of the most challenging questions of the historical enterprise: how does one narrate the history of an atrocity?
