"Beider has written a valuable book with solid
scholarship."--Wisconsin Academy Review
"Bieder presents a fresh look at the Indian tribes of Wisconsin and
clearly describes what happened to them from their beginnings to
1960 . . . This book should appeal to anyone who has an interest in
Wisconsin or Indian history." --American Historical Review
"Robert E. Beider has written a very thoughtful book for the
general reader about the history of American Indian communities in
Wisconsin."--Journal of American History
"Throughout, Bieder's considerable skills as a writer give the book
an unusual power and appeal . . . Where at times the prose has a
near-poetic quality, creating vivid impressions and stirring strong
feelings which enrage the reader in an empathetic as well as an
intellectual understanding of the historical experiences of
Wisconsin's native communities." --Michigan Historical Review
