David Grann accomplishes no small feat here in bringing history to life in a way that it unfolds like a fictional mystery. I appreciated his storytelling abilities here which both paid tremendous respect to a disturbing bit of American history and kept me enthralled to see how things would unfold. I certainly had never heard anything about this story, these people, and their hardships, which is ultimately the whole point: the country had created such a culture that they could be put through immense tragedies so easily and unencumbered -- often facilitated. I appreciate Grann shining a light on their stories.
