The Rise and Fall of Indian Country, 1825-1855
ISBN: 9780700615117 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Indian Trade and Intercourse Act of 1834 represented what many considered the ongoing benevolence of the United States toward Native Americans, establishing a congressionally designated refuge for displaced Indians to protect them from exploitation by white men. Others came to see it as a legally sanctioned way to swindle them out of their land. This first book-length study of "Indian country" focuses on Section 1 of the 1834 Act--which established its boundaries--to show that this legislation was ineffectual from the beginning. William Unrau challenges conventional views that the act...

Indians, Alcohol, and the Roads to Taos and Santa Fe
ISBN: 9780700619146 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the culture of the American West, images abound of Indians drunk on the white man's firewater, a historical stereotype William Unrau has explored in two previous books. His latest study focuses on how federally-developed roads from Missouri to northern New Mexico facilitated the diffusion of both spirits and habits of over-drinking within Native American cultures. Unrau investigates how it came about that distilled alcohol, designated illegal under penalty of federal fines and imprisonment as a trade item for Indian people, was nevertheless easily obtainable by most Indians along the...

The Kansa Indians: A History of the Wind People, 1673-1873volume 114
ISBN: 9780806119656 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. After their first contacts with whites in the seventeenth century, the Kansa Indians began migrating from the eastern United States to what is now eastern Kansas, by way of the Missouri Valley. Settling in villages mostly along the Kansas River, they led a semi-sedentary life, raising corn and a few vegetables and hunting buffalo in the spring and fall. It was an idyllic existence-until bad, and then worse, things began to happen. William E. Unrau tells how the Kansa Indians were reduced from a proud people with a strong cultural heritage to a remnant forced against their will to...

Mixed-Bloods and Tribal Dissolution: Charles Curtis and the Quest for Indian Identity
ISBN: 9780700603954 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book shows that without the cooperation of the"mixed-bloods," or part-Indians, dispossession of Indian lands by the U.S. government in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries would have been much more difficult to accomplish. The relationship between the Metis and the loss of Indian lands, never before fully explored, is revealed in Unrau's study of Charles Curtis, a mixed-blood member of the Kansa-Kaws. Curtis is best remembered as Herbert Hoover's vice-president, but he also served in Congress for more than 30 years. A successful lawyer and Republican politician, Curtis...
