Frontier history brought into fiction
Set on the Indiana frontier in 1824, Jessamyn West’s novel draws on the historical record of the Fall Creek Massacre and the trial that followed. The account centers on a rare legal turning point: five white men were accused of murdering Indigenous people, tried, convicted, and executed. By shaping these events as fiction, the book connects frontier life with questions of violence, justice, and the treatment of Indigenous communities in early America. Its historical basis gives the narrative a clear frame: the massacre and the proceedings that sought to address it.
