Daily Life During the Indian Wars (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780313364549)

This book takes an in-depth look at every aspect of American Indian life--food, dress, customs, and more--during the almost 300 years of conflict with Anglo-Americans.

From the colonial period to the end of the 19th century, from King Phillip's war to the Wounded Knee Massacre, fighting between the American Indians and the U.S. government created upheaval in the everyday lives of American Indians, affecting everything from trade and food to marriage, housing, and family life.

The continuous power struggle between distinct cultures created the backdrop for the creation of the United States we know today, as well as the infancy of American foreign policy. Daily Life during the Indian Wars will immerse readers in the true stories of a wide range of American Indian peoples as they fought to preserve everything they had and held dear--their traditions, their lands, and their identities.
