Kiowa: The History Of A Blanket Indian Mission (1915) is a historical account of the Kiowa tribe and their interactions with missionaries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Written by Isabel Alice Hartley Crawford, the book explores the efforts of Christian missionaries to convert the Kiowa people to Christianity, as well as the cultural clashes and misunderstandings that arose as a result of these efforts.The book begins by providing a brief overview of the Kiowa tribe and their traditional way of life, including their beliefs, customs, and practices. It then goes on to describe the arrival of Christian missionaries in the Kiowa territory and their efforts to establish a mission among the tribe.Throughout the book, Crawford draws on a variety of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and other documents, to provide a detailed and nuanced account of the interactions between the Kiowa people and the missionaries. She also explores the broader historical context of the period, including the impact of westward expansion and the Indian Wars on the Kiowa tribe and other Native American groups.Overall, Kiowa: The History Of A Blanket Indian Mission provides a fascinating and insightful look at the complex and often fraught relationship between Christian missionaries and Native American tribes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
