Contrasting the views of Native Americans and European Americans,
this book provides a fresh look at the rhetoric behind the westward
movement of the American frontier. From George Armstrong Custer and
Andrew Jackson to Helen Hunt Jackson, the volume gives the views of
well-known Anglo-Americans and contrasts them with views of such
well-known Native Americans as Metacom, Sitting Bull, Tecumseh, and
Black Hawk. Organized around major subthemes regarding the land,
who should own it, and what ownership means, the book traces the
rhetoric of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, then covers current
issues in the words of Oren Lyons, Vine Deloria Jr., and Senator
Slade Gorton. The core of the debate in this volume is the taking
of the continental United States from native peoples by European
immigrants. In chapters revolving around major subthemes, the book
develops biographies of significant figures in the history of a
continent changing hands. What was George Armstrong Custer's view
of Native American culture? How did this view contrast with that of
his contemporary and antagonist at the Little Big Horn, Sitting
Bull? This book is the first to present and contract the views on
both sides of the debate.
