Ghost River: The Fall and Rise of the Conestoga

4.2/5 ( ratings)

On December 27, 1763, a mob of settlers from Paxtang Township rode to the workhouse in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and massacred the fourteen remaining Conestoga People, completing the vile and atrocious act that began two weeks earlier with the massacre of six Conestoga who were peacefully residing in their village in the rolling Pennsylvania countryside.

But this is not a story of a tragedy visited far too often on Native peoples in North America. Rather it is a story of resilience, determination, and the understanding that history can be told from many perspectives.

Written by Lee Francis 4 , illustrated by the incomparable Weshoyot Alvitre and edited by Will Fenton , this new graphic novel from Red Planet Books and Comics chronicles the last days of the Conestoga People and brings their story to light; a story of despair and hope, loss and love, ancestors and the ghosts of history that are always with us.
