Yes I've read it twice. Good read and informative.

Watch the Netflex series, American Primeval, it's similar in its depiction of America's Western Frontier, settlers, injuns, the U.S. Army. Both are very brutal, because life back then was brutal.

I loved it. It's brutal though (think of a historical narrative of Blood Meridian at times).

When I first saw the trailer for American Primeval, I thought it was the trailer for Empire of the Summer Moon (which is supposed to be getting a movie).

The book should be required reading in school. I found it helped me understand the utter hatred each group had for each other.

That’s a great I went to Texas public school answer.
To the OP great book, well written and I think a runner up Pulitzer Prize.
You get a new perspective on Manifest Destiny and exactly what it took for that to happen.
