Farewell, My Nation: The American Indian and the United States in the Nineteenth Century

Description

Like its predecessor| the second edition of Philip Weeks’s highly popular volume illuminates the problems caused by westward expansion in the nineteenth century| as battle after battle was fought| treaty after treaty was broken. Weeks discusses the three possible resolutions undertaken in varying degrees by the U.S. government -separation| concentration| and Americanization- as he guides the reader through the significant changes in Indian-White relations during this pivotal time.

Informed by the latest scholarship and expanded to consider the entire scope of U.S-Indian relations in the nineteenth century| the second edition of the engaging Farewell| My Nation provides important supplemental reading for the U.S history survey and essential text for courses in American Indian studies.
