2015-10-14 02:04:30| Powells Books Events Calendar
An epic that runs from the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 to the ore industry of the 1930s, Shann Ray's novel, American Copper (Unbridled), is not only about America's hidden desire for regeneration through violence, but also the ultimate cost of forgiveness and the demands of atonement. It explores the genocidal colonization of the Cheyenne, the rise of big copper, and the unrelenting ascent of dominant culture. Ray's story is a poignant elegy to horses, cowboys, the stubbornness of racism, and the entanglements of modern humanity during the first half of the 20th century.
