Side by side with the westward drift of white Americans in the
1830's was the forced migration of the Five Civilized Tribes from
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Both groups were
deployed against the tribes of the prairies, both breaking the soil
of the undeveloped hinterland. Both were striving in the years
before the Civil War to found schools, churches, and towns, as well
as to preserve orderly development through government and laws.
In this book Grant Foreman brings to light the singular effect
the westward movement of Indians had in the cultivation and
settlement of the Trans-Mississippi region. It shows the Indian
genius at its best and conveys the importance of the Cherokees,
Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, and Seminoles to the nascent culture
of the plains. Their achievements between 1830 and 1860 were of
vast importance in the making of America.
