The Sacramento Bee – Between the Lines: ‘Death Row All Stars’ debuts at Raley Field event

Posted on September 4, 2014 by Chris Enss

It’s not often that a national book launch takes place at a baseball stadium, but one is coming to Raley Field.

Grass Valley nonfiction Western writer Chris Enss and co-author Howard Kazanjian tell a remarkable, little-known and scandalous story in “Death Row All Stars: A Story of Baseball, Corruption, and Murder” (Globe Pequot, $17, 176 pages). The two will be at Raley Field for a meet ’n’ greet and book-signing from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, before the Sacramento River Cats take on the Reno Aces at 7:05 p.m.

From a Reader of Mochi's War

"A very good history of the conditions that led to the Massacre at Sand Creek and what occurred in the lives of some of the participants. Mochi was a young Cheyenne woman who survived the attack on the camp at Sand Creek but lost her parents and husband in the attack. She becomes a warrior and sets out to avenge the ones she lost by attempting to stop the encroachment of whites on the land promised in various treaties to the Indians.

Mochi becomes one of the famous or infamous Dog Soldiers that carried the war directly to the white settlers. Mochi's part in various attacks in the West are recounted here and her capture and imprisonment. Along with her story the authors give the read a view of the people who were attacked by the Dog Soldiers and also what happen to Maj. Chivington, the leader of the infamous "battle" at Sand Creek.

A very interesting and well done history of a Native American woman who set out to get revenge on the people who had destroyed her people. Her name should be placed beside that of Pocahontas and Sacagawea in the annals of Native American history."

I’m not familiar with The Item but am thankful to them for steering readers to Tilghman. This was in their "What to Read" section.

"Want more about the Wild West? Then “Tilghman: The Legendary Lawman and the Woman Who Inspired Him” by Howard Kazanjian and Chris Enss (Two Dot, $28.95), a book with outlaws, hosses, cactus, and the best part of a love of a cowboy."

The history of women of the Native peoples of Nort

The history of women of the Native peoples of North America attest to their full participation in the community whether as elders and medicine women or as skilled agriculturalists and merchants and, in some cases even warrior. Women such as Pocahantas, Lozen, and Sacagawea are much more well-known than Mochi who made history as the only Native American woman to be incarcerated by the United States army as a prisoner of war.

To learn the story of this remarkable woman read Mochi’s War: The Tragedy of the Sand Creek.
