  • Oatman Massacre Collection
    TITLE: Oatman Massacre Collection DATE RANGE: 1850 - 2006 CALL NUMBER: Y-MS 6 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 1 box (.5 linear feet) PROVENANCE: Unknown COPYRIGHT: Unknown RESTRICTIONS: This collection is unrestricted. CREDIT LINE: Oatman Massacre Collection, Y-MS 6, Arizona Historical Society-Rio Colorado Division, Yuma BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: The Oatman Massacre occurred in the early months (February or March) of 1851. Royce Oatman and his family, pioneers looking to find a new life in California, were traveling towards Fort Yuma from Tucson. The family set out alone, having decided to press on when the pioneer caravan they were travelling with had opted to rest and resupply at a friendly Pima village. The Oatman family were attacked by a hostile tribe (the survivors identified the group as Tonto Apache, while others have said Yavapai or even Maricopa). The parents, eldest daughter, and two youngest children were killed in the attack. Two daughters, the 13 year old Olive and the seven year-old Mary were taken captive and the eldest son, Lorenzo was beaten and left for dead. Lorenzo survived and eventually began a long effort to rescue his sisters. Meanwhile, Olive and Mary spent a year doing slave labor before being traded to the daughter of a Mojave chieftain. Mary eventually succumbed to starvation and a weak constitution but Olive survived. After four years among the Mojave, Olive was ransomed to the military at Fort Yuma, where she was quickly reunited with her brother Lorenzo. The life of the Oatman siblings after the reunion is sketchy, and filled with contradictory rumors. A very successful book was written about the events by Royal B.

Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Face Divine, Race Demonic: Tattooing as Spectacle in the Slave- Ca ptivity Narratives of Melville and Oatman Keiko Shirakawa I. Introduction From Herman Melville's earlier works, Typee (1846) and Omoo (1847), through Moby-Dick (1851), to Billy Budd, Sailor (1891) Melville portrays both tattoos and the act of tattooing in vivid descriptions that largely avoid overtly attributing racial connotations to the practice. Yet in Typee, Melville reveals an implicit racial agenda through his narrator Tommo's abhorrence at the prospect of his white "face divine" (220) being tattooed by his cannibalistic captors. Tommo's abhorrence represents the broader fears of even tolerant antebellum Caucasians towards non-white, non-Christians, and conveys a view of tattoos as both literal and figurative signs of racial inferiority, even though Melville consistently displays the sympathetic and multivalent attitudes towards the various races through the life of sea.
