The book spans from the Seven Years' War to the Wounded Knee massacre, emphasizing the complex conflicts and relationships between advancing Americans and resisting Native Americans, highlighting both "triumph and tragedy." The author’s approach contrasts with traditional frontier histories by acknowledging contradictions, ironies, and personal complexities within these legendary figures. While the book offers a rich narrative, it notably excludes women as central figures and omits individuals from southern or western origins, suggesting areas for further exploration in Western history. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2018 Western Historical Association. item: Western Historical Quarterly holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2026 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
