historic read
4. Februar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Saw this book at the Smithsonian Indiian Museum in Washington DC. My husband couldn't put it down. This is the one with the illustrations which really brings home the story. Great read, great book. Anyone interested in learning the other side of the Indian story needs to read this.

Some Original Photos Deleted
25. August 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The original is a very well written book, nearly every chapter is a story in itself. Together they give an overview of the partail genocide and internment in concentration camps/reservations of some of the most prominent "Native American" tribes, along with other interesting facts and fantastic photos. My only gripe with this latest edition is that many of the original photos have been deleted, most of them are replaced with alternates of the same subject, but not all. The pics. of Roman Nose and Wovoka are gone replaced only with charcoal drawings. One of my favorites, Big Eagle brandishing his war club is gone, replaced with a photo that does'nt jump of the page the way the original does. This new edit. has a number of essays interspearsed through the chapters, an infomitive preface, many new photos and two maps, all of which are welcome. I was hopeing the maps would be of more assistance, they date from 1852 which is well before the 1860-1890 time-line of the narrative. They leave alot to be desired for answering questions like: Where is the "Smokey Hill"?...refered to with great frequency in the early chapters. If you've not read this book I suggest an earlier edition as it should have a better flow reading it as it was first intended, then since the vast majority of readers will be compelled to reread this classic, buy the expanded version for an even more enjoyable reread. A sample of the interesting facts aforementioned: (July 1860 the repeating rifle invented)...To me this shows that the Union Army finally had the ability to wage war with the confederates, carry on their genocide doctorine of free peoples, while standing ready to defend against a potential foriegn invader like Great Britten. The union could'nt have done all three without repeating rifles, so as soon as they had them they wasted no time forceing their agenda. Consider: What if slaves had been granted freedom while tribal Americans were free? Drums, danceing, tribal religion...these two tribes of man flurishing stood firmly in the way of corporate America and still do, as propaganda wars are as prominent as ever.

Very Sad
27. September 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
A rather relentless exposure of the deliberate slaughter of the American Indians of the American West from 1850 to 1890. It does become depressing as we move from one chapter to the next and one tribe after another is lied to, plundered, forced to re-locate and its' members killed off through-out all these phases. It is indeed a very sad reflection on America.
In these pages there are very few Americans who made a genuine attempt to deal humanly with the Indian nations. The only thing that can be said is that the European Americans (settlers, miners, industrialists, railroaders and soldiers) saw land and took it. The reservation system was simply land that no Americans wanted and forced the Indians to occupy it at dire cost.
In the long history of modernity coming in contact with tribal peoples, little good ever occurs to the indigenous population. This is certainly borne out in the pages of this book.
What is also interesting is the complete disconnect between Washington government policy and events happening to the Indians out West instigated by the settlers and the army.
It must also be remembered that at this time African Americans were enslaved or had just been released from slavery. They too were a disenfranchised people on the American continent. It is hardly surprising in this context, that Native Americans had much to fear from the movement of European Americans to the West. America was not a society that had a history of dealing benevolently or equitably with non-Europeans.
This new Sterling edition has wonderful photographs and illustrations of a long ago vanished people.
