Helen Hunt Jackson's famous expos chronicles the oppression and
murder the Native American peoples suffered throughout the 18th and
19th centuries. This book was published in 1885, at a time when the
final conflicts between the United States and the Native American
populations were being fought. The concept of allotted reservations
as a means of settling land disputes had by then been underway for
decades. At this point in time, the colonial settlers from Europe
had spent over a century driving back the native inhabitants of
North America. Jackson casts her examination over the preceding
century, cataloging the systematic process through which the Native
American populace was suppressed, killed and robbed of their lands
and heritage. Each separate tribe is considered, such as the
Cherokees, Sioux and the Delawares: for each we are given a
cultural profile, before Jackson details the interactions -
peaceful and hostile - each respective tribe had with the incipient
European settlers.
