Bloodland: A Family Story of Oil, Greed and Murder on the Osage Reservation
"An informative, often poignant story of a suppressed chapter of American history-a kind of Native American Roots." --Kirkus Reviews<br /><br />"An intimate quest for identity, a fascinating real-life whodunit, and a shattering expose of another shameful episode in the painful history of U.S. and Indian relations." --Booklist<br /><br />"As a boy in the Oklahoma oil patch, I heard rumors of the atrocities committed against the Osages. Dennis McAuliffe's magnificent reporting job brings this terrible episode in American history vividly to life." --Tony Hillerman<br /><br />"It starts in the 19th century and takes a sharp turn in the 20th, one we have never taken in all the westerns that fill our movie screens... It is a western and a crime story, and it is history, not mythology." --The New York Times<br /><br />"McAuliffe has opened not only old family wounds but a national tragedy." --The Seattle Times
