Where we left off in part I of our tale of Olive Oatman. Olive was grieving the death of her sister Mary Ann, who succumbed to a severe famine that killed many of the Mohave Native Americans holding the girls in captivity. Olive's life was spared because of the mammoth efforts of her adoptive Native American mother, Aespaneo, to keep her alive by providing food that she refused to even share with the tribe. At this moment, Olive must have believed that her only living relative had died, as her mother, father, and siblings were killed in a massacre in Arizona three years prior. What Olive didn't know, however, is that her brother, Lorenzo Oatman, had survived the initial attack in 1851 despite being severely wounded and left for dead by the Yavapais, and there were efforts underway to reunite her with her brother.

Late in 1872, as the United States sought to clear the newly incorporated Southwest of its indigenous inhabitants, a company under Capt. James Burns came upon an encampment of Kwevkepayas (a branch of Yavapais) sheltering in the shadow of rock overhang above the Salt River Canyon. The soldiers wasted no time on the formalities of battle. They rained down fire, bullets ricocheting from the roof the cave, felling the refugees below. They even pushed down boulders. None survived. Well, almost none. A few days prior, the advancing soldiers had come across a young boy of eight or nine looking for a missing horse. “They made a rush for me,” Hoomothya would later write. “They pulled me over rocks and bushes. The men didn’t care whether I got hurt or not.” But unlike Burns’ Kwevkepaya siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandfather, the invaders did not kill him. In fact, the man responsible for his family’s extermination would adopt the young Hoomothya as something between a son and a servant, renaming him Mike Burns. Over a century later, the prolific writer and editor Gregory McNamee has brought us Burns’ remarkable story. In The Only One Living to Tell: The Autobiography of a Yavapai Indian (University of Arizona Press, 2012), Burns recounts his survival of the massacre, his time as a scout for the U.S. military on the campaign against Geronimo, his education n white schools, and eventual reconnection with his Yavapai community. “Mike Burns lived in two worlds,” McNamee tell us, “and he was at home in neither.” But his intelligence, humor and compassion illuminates both in profound and unexpected ways.
