What Fiction are you reading this week, February 13, 2022?

[hermetic]

9. Yikes!

You left off the beginning of the title: 38 Nooses. A very ugly part of American history. I could see how that one could get banned from school libraries. "President Lincoln, embroiled in the most devastating period of the Civil War, personally intervened in order to spare the lives of 265 of the condemned men, but the toll on the Dakota nation was still staggering: a way of life destroyed, a tribe forcibly relocated to barren and unfamiliar territory, and 38 Dakota warriors hanged—the largest government-sanctioned execution in American history."

Edit to add: I wish it WAS fiction.
