Y'all WHAT. How did I never hear about this??? (Which is rhetorical because obviously the essentially genocide of the Osage would of course not be covered in my white history classes.) I'll definitely be revisiting this book because a lot of the sentiment toward Native people still exist today and we need to be much more aware of the total destruction that racism can cause. God. If this was a novel, I would have a hard time believing it. It's that intricate and horrific.

4.0

This book was well paced and thoroughly researched. The writing made it read like a novel but always with the understanding that this impacted soamy real people and we've (US residents) haven't been exposed to a lot of these stories. I loved how the author brought the impact of these murders up to the modern day, showing how these traumas can echo through generations. I'm looking forward to reading other books by this author.
