Kurzbeschreibung

In addition, a series of maps illustrates the westward-moving Indian frontier, drawing together a variety of information on army posts, military engagements, reservations, and land cessions from the years of the early Republic to the late nineteenth century. Of particular interest to military historians is a group of maps that locate army installations - forts, camps, cantonments, and barracks - and show the size of their garrisons at selected dates from 1789 to 1895. Finally, a portfolio of maps by Rafael D. Palacios depicts sites of major Indian uprisings and military engagements in the West from the 1862 Sioux uprising to the Wounded Knee tragedy in 1890. The extensive notes, which direct readres to sources of information and furnish statistical data, provide an invaluable guide to further research. The book includes a comprehensive index. Francis Paul Prucha, S.J., is a leading historian of American Indian policy. Among his many works is "The Great Father: The United States Government and the American Indians" (1984), also published by the University of Nebraska Press and winner of the Ray Allen Billington Prize of the Organization of American Historians.
