Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock: Treaty Rights and Indian Law at the End of the Nineteenth Century / Edition 1

by Blue Clark

Overview

"Fascinating and highly readable . . . This book should be required reading for any student of Federal Indian policy."-Journal of American Ethnic History.

"[Clark] places the Kiowas at center stage in the drama, as prime movers in determining their own fate. In the process, [his] study becomes not only a case study of the Dawes Act in application, but an examination of the Kiowas' persistent and creative struggle in the late nineteenth century to maintain material, legal, and cultural rights."-Montana.

"Clark's unique approach in Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock allows him to go beyond the initial examination of legal precedent to reveal a story of human dignity and a people's survival."-Great Plains Quarterly.

"Blue Clark does an excellent job of placing the decision within the context of its times and setting forth its devastating effect on tribal sovereignty."-News from Indian Country.

"It is a real pleasure to discover a book that places the historical context first and explains the manner in which a particular piece of litigation occurred. Blue Clark's Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock joins Sidney Harring's Crow Dog's Case as a worthy representative of a movement to introduce history into the realms of legal thought."-Law and History Review.
