Bücher der Reihe New Directions in Native American Studies Series

In expanding the context of removal to include the Old Northwest, and adding a portrait of Native communities there before, during, and after removal, Bowes paints a more accurate--and complicated--picture of American Indian history in the nineteenth century. Land Too Good for Indians reveals the deeper complexities of this crucial time in American history.

Archaeologists have long studied the American Southwest, but as historian Robert McPherson shows in Viewing the Ancestors, their findings may not tell the whole story. McPherson maintains that combining archaeology with knowledge derived from the oral traditions of the Navajo, Ute, Paiute, and Hopi peoples yields a more complete history.

In Speculators in Empire, William J. Campbell examines the diplomacy, land speculation, and empire building that led up to the 1768 treaty of Fort Stanwix. His detailed study overturns common assumptions about the roles of the Iroquois and British on the eve of the American Revolution.
