After he was appointed the first governor of the state of Washington, Isaac Ingalls Stevens had one goal: to persuade the Indians of the Puget Sound region to leave their ancestral lands for inhospitable reservations. But Stevens's program--marked by threat and misrepresentation--outraged the Nisqually tribe and its chief, Leschi, sparking the native resistance movement. Tragically, Leschi's resistance unwittingly turned his tribe and himself into victims of the governor's relentless wrath. \u003ci\u003eThe Bitter Waters of Medicine Creek\u003c\/i\u003e is a riveting chronicle of how violence and rebellion grew out of frontier oppression and injustice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Kluger is the author of \u003ci\u003eAshes to Ashes: America's Hundred-Year Cigarette War, the Public Health, and the Unabashed Triumph of Philip Morris\u003c\/i\u003e, which\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ewon the Pulitzer Prize.
