“Now the ash of their aspirations lay bitter on his tongue. He was certain he would not have done differently, but oh, if only he had known how briefly the taste of the possible would be sweet on his lips.”
Leslie K. Simmons, Red Clay, Running Waters

Andrés Reséndez
“If we were to add up all the Indian slaves taken in the New World from the time of Columbus to the end of the nineteenth century, the figure would run somewhere between 2.5 and 5 million slaves.”
Andrés Reséndez, The Other Slavery: The Uncovered Story of Indian Enslavement in America
