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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49809083793681,"sku":"CIN0806128437G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52133528109329,"sku":"NLS9780806128436","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0806128437.jpg?v=1767352110"},{"product_id":"hunt-for-willie-boy-book-james-a-sandos-9780806125985","title":"The Hunt for Willie Boy","description":"A retelling of the story of the Paiute-Chemehuevi Indian known as Willie Boy, using previously unheard Indian voices and correcting the prevailing white story in many respects.

Focusing primarily on the religious conflict between the two groups, it sheds new light on the tensions, accomplishments, and limitations of the California mission experience. James Sandos, an eminent authority on the American West, traces the history of the Franciscan missions from the creation of the first one in 1769 until they were turned over to the public in 1836. Addressing such topics as the singular theology of the missions, the role of music in bonding Indians to Franciscan enterprises, the diseases caused by contact with the missions, and the Indian resistance to missionary activity, Sandos not only describes what happened in the California missions but offers a persuasive explanation for why it happened.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50332118090001,"sku":"CIN0300101007VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50560126812433,"sku":"CIN0300101007G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300101007.jpg?v=1750941221"},{"product_id":"converting-california-book-james-a-sandos-9780300136432","title":"Converting California","description":"This book is a compelling and balanced history of the California missions and their impact on the Indians they tried to convert.

The rebels planned to reclaim lands the United States lost in 1846 and to kill every North America male over sixteen. Sandos's book is a groundbreaking attempt to recover a historical memory long repressed in both the United States and Mexico, a failed plan that for almost 70 years colored official American attitudes toward Mexico.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52530673058065,"sku":"NLS9780806191560","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780806191560.jpg?v=1767350796"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-james-a-sandos.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
