Publisher Synopsis
"Beck has written a comprehensive history of the Menominee people that replaces outdated earlier efforts, which by itself represents a valuable addition to the corpus of ethnohistorical writing on the Old Northwest. The book's strength lies in the solid implementation of historical method in telling the story of Euroamerican colonialism from a Native perspective."-Anthropos, 99.2004 Read more...
