Abstract
Indian lands are confiscated by forty-niners in their rush to find gold. Tribal members who retaliate are killed or imprisoned, their children enslaved. By 1860 the Indian population is reduced from 100,000 to 30,000. Historian Elliott West calls this "one of the few examples in American history that could genuinely be called genocide."
