From the Paper:

"Throughout American history, students are taught about the Native American plight. Many times, people believe that the way it is presented is a sugar coated version of the real events. In "Exterminate Them: Written Accounts of the Murder, Rape and Enslavement of Native Americans during the California Gold Rush, By Clifford E. Trafzer and Joel R. Hyer, the reader gets a targeted realistic overview of what the author believes was a straight genocide approach in an attempt to rid the state of California of the Native Americans who were here long before white man entered the nation".
