Mary Jane Warde is the author of Washita and George Washington Grayson and the Creek Nation.
"When the Wolf Came is a deeply researched and engagingly
corrective addition to the sparse or dated existing studies of a
critical period in the history of the Indian Territory; it is
especially valuable for its extensive incorporation of the
perspectives of those inside rather than outside the Territory.
Occupying the intersection between the history of the Civil War and
of the American West, it deserves careful reading by military
historians interested in irregular warfare and students of the
history of the United States generally and Oklahoma in
particular."
--Michigan War Studies Review
"Will stand for decades as the most comprehensive and thoughtful
study of the Civil War's impact on Indian Territory .... very fine
scholarship indeed, carefully crafted, abundantly researched, and
told with an eye to both detail and clarity."
--Daniel Herman in Civil War Book Review
"A solid work of scholarship that is essential for scholars of the
Trans-Mississippi theater of the war and for Civil War
enthusiasts."
--Arkansas Historical Quarterly
"...[A] fine and thorough overview of the military history of the
Civil War in the Indian Territory, one that captures the different
levels of politics, culture, and history that were pulling on
Native communities at the time of the war, and that ultimately
makes a good case for the long-term links between the war and
Native history in both Oklahoma and the nation as a whole. I would
strongly recommend it to those with an interest in Oklahoma
history, Trans-Mississippi history, Native American history, Civil
War in the West and the Removal Period."--Field Notes, July-August
2016
"One of the only works to date to document the experiences of
Indians on the battlefield and at home in such rich detail.
Scholars interested in the American Civil War, Indigenous military
history, or the nineteenth-century history of the Five Nations will
find the text especially useful."--Native American and Indigenous
Studies
"This book is highly recommended to anyone wanting to know more
about the events and consequences of the Civil War in Indian
Territory and its surrounding territories."--The Chronicles of
Oklahoma
"Warde has succeeded in crafting the definite history of the Civil
War in Indian Territory. Blending federal documents, traditional
archives, secondary sources, and oral histories, When the Wolf Came
is highly recommended to students of the Civil War, the American
South, American Indians, and federal Indian policy."--Robert
Wooster, The Journal of Southern History
