The Plains Indians

For the Plains Indians, the period from 1750 to 1890, often referred to as the traditional period, was an evolutionary time. Horses and firearms, trade goods, shifting migration patterns, disease pandemics, and other events associated with extensive European contact led to a peak of Plains Indian influence and success in the early nineteenth century. Ironically, that same European contact ultimately led to the devolution of traditional Plains Indian society, and by 1870 most Plains Indian peoples were living on reservations.In The Plains Indians Paul H. Carlson charts the evolution and growth of the Plains Indians through this period of constant change.

War for the Plains (American Indians)

This title has a number of flaws. Primary among them are its woefully superficial analysis of the cultural forces that led to the ``war'' for the Plains and its curious pro-19th century U.S. Army bias. Other problems are the frequent use of quotes without citations and the practice of attributing feelings to groups of people. The book is well illustrated with reproductions from the Smithsonian and historical society archives; visuals are its strongest suit. Look elsewhere, though, for insight into this aspect of American history.-Colleen McDougall, Kayenta Boarding School, AZ.
