This synthesis of Indian-white relations west of the Appalachians
from the end of the French and Indian War to the beginning of the
Mexican War is not simply a story of whites versus Indians. The
author focuses on relations among the British, the Spanish, the
Americans, and Indian tribes in territories claimed by more than
one of these groups, with particular emphasis on Indian tribes'
pursuit of trade, peace, and guarantees of their land. The broad
chronological and geographical scope of this volume encompasses
British efforts to enforce new settlement policies after their
defeat of the French, the Spanish system of missions and presidios,
trade in the Columbia River basin of the Pacific Northwest, the
Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears, and the establishment of
a strong military presence to defend the trade routes of the Great
Plains. The author's clear explanations of complex negotiations
over trade, land, and policy among countless conflicting groups
during a period of transition will be invaluable for students and
for the interested general reader.
