"Pairing well-chosen primary sources with the best in contemporary scholarship, Nancy Shoemaker has devised an extraordinary book.

Lively and accessible introductions frame questions of method, evidence, historiography and analysis, making American Indians a compelling classroom book."

"A rich mix of documents, extending chronologically from Garrison's 1833 'Declaration of Sentiments' to Tourgée's grim 1879 commentary on Reconstruction.

Excellent for course adoption."
