"Recommended." -Choice
"...readers interested in the settlement of the American Midwest in
the nineteeth century by both Euro-American and American Indian
migrants will learn a great deal from Exiles and Pioneers."
"...a refreshingly complex picture of removal, a subject too often
reduced to a simple story of Indian victimization at the hands of
federal officals." -Andrew Denson, Journal of American Ethnic
History
Exiles and Pioneers is a long overdue treatment of the
ninteenth-century transition of the Shawnees, Delawares, Wyandots,
and Potawatomis as they faced removal from their homelands in the
Midwest and resettled in their new homelands in Kansas." -Robbie
Ethridge, Western Historical Quarterly
