The Indian Southwest, 1580-1830: Ethnogenesis and Reinvention Volume 232
ISBN: 9780806140674 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Volume 232 in the Civilization of the American Indian Series In The Indian Southwest, 1580-1830, Gary Clayton Anderson argues that, in the face of European conquest and severe droughts that reduced their food sources, Indians in the Southwest proved remarkably adaptable and dynamic. Groups such as the Jumanos and Coahuiltecans, decimated by warfare, Spanish slave-raiding, and disease, either temporarily joined Spanish missions or assimilated into other tribes. Others, including the Caddos and Wichitas, survived the Spanish onslaught by remaining on its fringe, migrating in order to survive...

Next, the decade-long conflict with Mexico merged with war against Indians. For fifty years Texas remained... This is not your grandfather's history of Texas.

Through Dakota Eyes: Narrative Accounts of the Minnesota Indian War of 1862
ISBN: 9780873512169 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "This volume brings together an invaluable collection of vivid eyewitness accounts of the Minnesota Indian War of 1862 and its aftermath. Of greatest interest is the fact that all the narratives assembled here come from Dakota mixed-bloods and full-bloods. Speaking from a variety of viewpoints and enmeshed in complex webs of allegiances to Indian, white, and mixed-blood kin, these witnesses testify not only to the terrible casualties they all suffered, but also to the ways in which the events of 1862 tore at the social, cultural, and psychic fabrics of their familial and community lives. This...
