The Sons of Gunshooter

A Navajo Resistance Story
In 1919, the brother of one of the West’s most famous Indian traders was shot to death in a remote corner of the Navajo Nation.

Part history, part true crime, The Sons of Gunshooter reexamines the killing and subsequent murder trial, while simultaneously embedding the story in a much larger saga of colonization and resistance. The result is a book that’s sweeping in its scope and surgical in its approach. Rewinding the clock to 1868, the authors follow the intertwining paths of two families to offer a riveting, deeply personal account that has been hailed as “a new way of doing historiography.”

One of the authors is a descendant of participants in the case; the other is an investigative journalist. By merging DinÉ oral traditions with archival evidence, they succeed in upending one false narrative after another. The Sons of Gunshooter is an inspiring new take on a history we thought we knew.
