Shortly before dawn on April 30, 1871, what is considered to be one of the worst slaughters in American history, the Camp Grant Massacre, occurred in Arizona. This early morning assault generated a heated debate that raised important questions about the relationship between history and violence. In this lecture we will discuss how this massacre illuminates one of the great ironies of the historical process&mdash;violence produces vast silences in the historical record yet also creates history. <br /><br /><i>Karl Jacoby is a tenured associate professor of history at Brown University.
