Reviews

The author deftly weaves materials drawn from a wide variety of disciplines to create a tapestry of tragic events born of millenarian visions. The writing is cogent, clear, and graceful. Journal of American History [Miller] has produced a work that is a provocative revisionist assessment of the remarkably parallel worlds of Indians and whites on the Columbia Plateau... Miller's work is tightly crafted and a source of inspiration for readers seeking explanation rather than just description of past events. Oregon Historical Quarterly Miller's revisionist proposal deserves attention for its erudition and ingenuity... and as a challenge to reassess one's own reading of this complex juncture of historical and anthropological evidence. Western Historical Quarterly
