Maggie Nightingale Library Book Discussion Group - In Person

In-person discussion of the book of the month

New readers are welcome to join this group! The book being discussed in April is Covered with Night: A Story of Murder and Indigenous Justice in Early America by Nicole Eustace.

"An immersive tale of the killing of a Native American man and its far-reaching consequences for Colonial America. In the summer of 1722, on the eve of a conference between the Five Nations of the Iroquois and British-American colonists, two colonial fur traders brutally attacked an Indigenous hunter in colonial Pennsylvania. The crime set the entire mid-Atlantic on edge, with many believing that war was imminent. Frantic efforts to resolve the case created a contest between Native American forms of justice, centered on community, forgiveness, and reparations, and an ideology of harsh reprisal, based on British law, that called for the killers' execution." --Provided by Publisher
