The Kickapoo Indians resisted outsiders' every attempt to settle
their lands--until finally they were forced to remove west of the
Mississippi River to the plains of the Southwest. There they
continued to wage war and acted as traders for border captives and
goods. In 1873 they reluctantly settled on a reservation in Indian
Territory. There, corrupt politicians, land swindlers, gamblers,
and whiskey peddlers preyed on the tribe. Not until the twentieth
century did the Kickapoos received just treatment at the hands of
the United States government. Arrell Morgan Gibson (1921-87) was
the George Lynn Cross Research Professor of History at the
University of Oklahoma. Among the numerous books he authored or
edited are The Kickapoos: Lords of the Middle Border and The
Chickasaws.
