In Common and Contested Ground, Theodore Binnema provides a
sweeping and innovative interpretation of the history of the
northwestern plains and its peoples from prehistoric times to the
Lewis and Clark Expedition.The real history of the northwestern
plains between a.d. 200 and 1806 was far more complex, nuanced, and
paradoxical than often imagined. Drawn by vast herds of buffalo and
abundant resources, bands of Indians, fur traders, and settlers
moved across the northwestern plains establishing intricate
patterns of trade, diplomacy, and warfare. In the process, the
northwestern plains became a common and contested ground. Drawing
on a wide range of sources, Binnema examines the impact of
technology on the peoples of the northern plains, beginning with
the bow-and-arrow and continuing through the arrival of the horse,
European weapons, Old World diseases, and Euroamerican traders.
