COLIN G. CALLOWAY is John Kimball Jr. 1943 Professor of History and Professor of Native American Studies at Dartmouth College. He is the author of numerous books, including One Vast Winter Count: The Native American West Before Lewis and Clark (2003), which won six best-book awards.
"Colin G. Calloway is to be commended for undertaking such an
effort in The Indian History of an American Institution: Native
Americans at Dartmouth, a work that embodies the complexity
demanded by such a story while maintaining a unifying narrative. At
the heart of his book is his belief that 'this college in the
woods' was ostensibly founded for the education of Indian
students."-- "Review of Higher Education"
"Readers will marvel at how adroitly [Calloway] has weaved his
narrative from 'scattered glimpses' of Indian students at Dartmouth
. . . The result is an admirable account, thoroughly
contextualized, of all that can be learned about 'Indian History'
at Dartmouth to 1970."-- "Vermont History"
"The historical context and description of individuals
participating in Indian history are strengths of this institutional
history of Indians at Dartmouth."-- "Choice"
In clear, engaging prose, Calloway carefully places the fascinating
details of this story in the context of developments in the nation
and in Indian country. This is a book that should be read and
considered by a wise audience in and out of Dartmouth.--
