Winner of the 2016 Los Angeles Times Book Award for History New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice "Gruesomely thorough. . . . Others have described some of these campaigns, but never in such strong terms and with so much blame placed directly on the United States government."--Alexander Nazaryan, Newsweek Between 1846 and 1873, California's Indian population plunged from perhaps 150,000 to 30,000. Benjamin Madley is the first historian to uncover the full extent of the slaughter, the involvement of state and federal officials, the taxpayer dollars that supported the violence, indigenous resistance, who did the killing, and why the killings ended. This deeply researched book is a comprehensive and chilling history of an American genocide. Madley describes pre-contact California and precursors to the genocide before explaining how the Gold Rush stirred vigilante violence against California Indians. He narrates the rise of a state-sanctioned killing machine and the broad societal, judicial, and political support for genocide. Many participated: vigilantes, volunteer state militiamen, U.S. Army soldiers, U.S. congressmen, California governors, and others. The state and federal governments spent at least $1,700,000 on campaigns against California Indians. Besides evaluating government officials' culpability, Madley considers why the slaughter constituted genocide and how other possible genocides within and beyond the Americas might be investigated using the methods presented in this groundbreaking book.Binding Type: Paperback

These are the best paper towel ever!
Package Size Name: Family Triple Roll, Size: 141 Sheets (Pack of 12)
The reason I say these are the best paper towels is because they are more like a cloth than actual paper. If you're doing something larger like cleaning the kitchen sinks you can usually get by with just one. You can wet it down, ring it out and continue working. When it's time to dry, these soak up so much more liquid than any other towel... It's crazy! They are a bit on the expensive side, but you'll use so fewer towels that it makes up the difference.

Strong, mighty and reusable.
Package Size Name: Triple, Size: 141 Sheets (Pack of 2)
I love these specifically for our RV because they work great to take my makeup off at the end of day as well. These really are different and more durable then most others on the market. Can even be rinsed and reused before discarded if need be.

Close to a cloth
Package Size Name: Triple, Size: 141 Sheets (Pack of 16)
Hi All, These are simply terrific paper towels that are close to grabbing a cloth. They come in triple size rolls which we
find helpful. I get the ones that can tear at a half size sheet, and find the roll last longer when you don't have to use
a full sheet for everything. For paper, these are softer than most, and don't have that sandpaper feeling like so many do. I think you'll like them. Prices and sizes change depending on the stock available so watch for the right price for the right rolls you prefer.
