About this product

Product Information

Winner of the Gustavus Myers Center Award for an Outstanding Book on Human Rights In 1909 a sensational double killing in Southern California led to what has been called the West?s last famous manhunt. According to contemporary (white) newspapers, an Indian named Willie Boy killed his potential father-in-law in a fit of drunken lust, kidnapped his intended, and fled with her on foot across the desert. They were pursued by several posses, and when the girl slowed his flight, Willie Boy heartlessly raped and murdered her, finally killing himself after a shoot-out with a posse. This story was immortalized in the important Robert Redford film, Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here (1969). In The Hunt for Willie Boy: Indian-Hating and Popular Culture, James A. Sandos and Larry E. Burgess correct the story of Willie Boy, a Paiute-Chemehuevi Indian, by weaving in previously unheard Indian voices to explain his motivations and actions and to present a more balanced retelling.

Well Researched
Historically far more accurate that the Hollywood movie. This is a non-fiction book but it reads almost like a detective story. I live near the site where the story takes place, so the book was especially appealing to me. I'm very grateful that the authors made such an effort to get it right.

Research only
A well-documented, well-researched book that covers the important events of the end of Willie Boy's life. If what you are looking for is a reference to these events, here's the ticket. If you are looking for entertainment or a review of the movie; look someplace else. The moviw ('Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here') comes in for some specific attacks as to the factual basis for some of the events depicted. In the end, the movie was intended to sell tickets while entertaining. It was not (and was not intended to be) a documentary. The book, on the other hand, is focused on research at the expense of entertainment.
