- Authors
Whaley, Gray H.
- Abstract
The article discusses the history of white settlers' mass killing of Indians in southwest Oregon during the 1850s, arguing that the use of the term genocide to describe this is applicable. The role that the citizen militias played in the aforementioned genocide, including against Coos Bay Indians in what is known as the Rogue River War of 1855-1856, is discussed.
