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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eUnsettled Ground\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"[Tate] tells the Cayuse's side of the story with empathy and clarity . . . a meticulously researched book\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\"\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe Seattle Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Sasquatch Books","offers":[{"title":"Unsettled Ground: The Whitman Massacre and Its Shifting Legacy in the American West | Cassandra Tate | Hardcover | 9781632172501 | Used: Like New | American History 1765072","offer_id":49351813529752,"sku":"1765072","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/919AdKBPafL_60bac3a0-6154-47f3-8656-91723cfa59c3.jpg?v=1782666152","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/unsettled-ground-the-whitman-massacre-and-its-shifting-legacy-in-the-american-west-1","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
