Reviews

"There is a lot to be learned from [Cushman's] writing. . . . On one level the book is a rich lode of primary source material on the Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Natchez, but it also expresses the political activism that energized early scholarship in native North American history." James Taylor Carson, in Ethnohistory
