Reviews
" Unsettled Ground is both the gripping adventure story of a cross-continental journey and a cultural exploration of the collision of two very different ways of life. . . . Told with depth and insight, Tate's account is a prism that allows us to see the multiple dimensions of a classic frontier conflict." --Peter Stark, author of Astoria: John Jacob Astor and Thomas Jefferson's Lost Pacific Empire "Even well-read aficionados of Western history will be surprised and perhaps dismayed by Tate's comprehensive and masterfully layered narrative." --Shannon Applegate, author of Skookum: An Oregon Pioneer Family's History and Lore and Living Among Headstones: Life in a Country Cemetery "In this overdue era of righting unbalanced histories, Cassandra Tate reexamines a deadly tragedy from the nineteenth-century American West. Unsettled Ground is a riveting blend of intricate research, fresh cultural perspective, and first-rate storytelling." --Dave Boling, author of Guernica and The Lost History of Stars "....by turns moving, evenhanded and lyrical in its evocation of time and place." --Seattle Times "A highly readable, myth-busting, fact-based story.

Synopsis
A nineteenth-century attack by Native Americans on a Presbyterian mission in what would become the Oregon Territory proved to be a turning point in the history of the American West. This book examines the tangled legacy of that event. In 1836, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, devout missionaries from upstate New York, established a Presbyterian mission on Cayuse Indian land near what is now the fashionable wine capital of Walla Walla, Washington. Eleven years later, a group of Cayuses killed the Whitmans and eleven others in what became known as the Whitman Massacre. The attack led to a war of retaliation against the Cayuse; the extension of federal control over the present-day states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming; and martyrdom for the Whitmans. Today, the Whitmans are more likely to be demonized as colonizers than revered as heroes. Historian and journalist Cassandra Tate takes a fresh look at the personalities, dynamics, disputes, social pressures, and shifting legacy of a pivotal event in the history of the American West., A highly-readable, myth-busting history of the Whitman Massacre--a pivotal event in the history of the American West--that includes the often-missing Native American point of view. In 1836, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, devout missionaries from upstate New York, established a Presbyterian mission on Cayuse Indian land near what is now the fashionable wine capital of Walla Walla, Washington. Eleven years later, a group of Cayuses killed the Whitmans and eleven others in what became known as the Whitman Massacre. The attack led to a war of retaliation against the Cayuse; the extension of federal control over the present-day states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and parts of Montana and Wyoming; and martyrdom for the Whitmans. Today, however, the Whitmans are more likely to be demonized as colonizers than revered as heroes. In Unsettled Ground , historian and journalist Cassandra Tate takes a fresh look at the personalities, dynamics, disputes, social pressures, and shifting legacy of a pivotal event in the history of the American West. "[Tate] tells the Cayuse's side of the story with empathy and clarity . . . a meticulously researched book . " -- The Seattle Times
