You’re invited to explore early American history during an online conversation Wednesday, Dec. 14, at 12 noon with Pulitzer Prize winning historian Nicole Eustace as she discusses her 2022 award winning book “Covered With Night: A Story of Murder and Indigenous Justice in Early America.”
In the book, two white fur traders attack an Indigenous hunter and leave him for dead near Conestoga, Pennsylvania, on the eve of a major treaty conference between Iroquois leaders and European colonists in the summer of 1722.
Though virtually forgotten today, this act of brutality set into motion a remarkable series of criminal investigations and cross-cultural negotiations that challenged the definition of justice in early America.
