I finished To Kill A Mockingbird (Harper Lee) - one more #pulitzerwinner - and this book has deep morals but the narrative voice feels implausible. I’m also aware that the text has not aged well. Anyways it illustrates marvelously the end of innocence, and it’s warmth is captivating. 6.5/10

“… before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience”

In the winter of 1722, on the eve of a major conference between the #FiveNations of the #Haudenosaunee (also known as the #Iroquois ) and American colonists, a pair of colonial fur traders brutally assaulted a Seneca hunter near Conestoga, Pennsylvania. The crime ignited a contest between Native American forms of justice. In Covered with Night, #historian #NicoleEustace reconstructs the attack & its aftermath. #pulitzerwinner #bookstodons #native
