Shadows at Dawn shows how an event is remembered can be influenced by who wrote the history of it. The US west and borderlands was a place that was inhabited by people of many different backgrounds; Shadows at Dawn gives all who are involved a voice, leading to a more in depth understanding of the Camp Grant Massacre and that it is much deeper than simply cowboys versus Indians. The inclusion of more perspectives on the camp Grant Camp Grant Massacre leads to stories that had been lost or deemed irrelevant by popular belief to be heard. Jacoby examines the settlement of the Arizona-Mexico border region from four perspectives (The O’odham, Los Vecinos (Mexican settlers), American settlers, and the Nn?? people).
As Minnie Bledsoe, the old owner of the black bar in town, told Sheriff Sam Deeds, Buddy’s son, “them days you deal with Sherriff Wade or you didn’t deal at all.” This means that in order for anything to be done in Frontera, it had to be “approved” by Charlie Wade and if it was not, you would have to suffer the consequences. He was the upholder of the law, yet the law he spoke of was not the law that is established by the states, rather it was a version of these laws
(p.85) What the rest of the book shaped me to understand is that Cortez was not the man sent to bring a region to new heights, but instead, the man sent to find somewhere to rule. He was very smart and was able to use people and tell and do what they wanted, to get what he wanted. The Indians were taken over, forced to work their land till some of them died from it, or brought down with diseases their body couldn’t handle. Even though I walk away from this book with a better knowledge of the journey taken to move Mexico to be the Mexico we know it as today, I do not feel that Cortez or the others that came after him did them
In the time period of “Passing Strange,” an individual could only check one box for their race, giving the government the advantage of setting up many restrictions to depict ones race. An individual was either: black, white, or Hispanic, never mixed. Due to many laws in that time period, it seemed to be rare to see a mixed child roaming the streets.

I believe the author was trying to show that even though there are still segregation problems, the United States is coming a long way in that issue.
The Alamo, John Myers Myers, First Bison Press, 1948, Review by: The book The Alamo is one of historical facts intertwined with legend.

A powerful leader in our country has origins tracing back too Jamestown and the beginning of a very negative element in history for america. This relationship confirms our connection with Jamestown. A key element in preserving History and being able to prove findings at all is through revisions and re-connections.

Davis, author of Race Relations in America, declares, “Mexican Americans proved a further challenge in U.S racial classifications”, Like Indians and blacks Mexican Americans shared being outcasts. The dominant Anglo Americans segregated Mexicans even when they had acquired their U.S citizenship but nevertheless they were still seen as an inferior race. “Many former Mexicans fought their dispossession and became outlaws or bandits in the eyes of U.S officials” (75). Anglo believed that an inferior race could hold of such possession so much land was taken away by use of force. Discrimination played an important role in Mexican Americans during that
