Summary:
"A revealing history of the
West
that pivots on Native
peoples
and the mixed families they made with European settlers. There is mixed blood at the heart of America. And at the heart of Native life for centuries there were complex households using marriage to link communities and protect people within circles of kin. These family circles took in European newcomers who followed the fur trade into Indian Country from the Great
Lakes
to the Columbia River. Vividly combining the panoramic and the particular, Anne F. Hyde's pathbreaking history follows five
mixed-descent
families whose lives were inscribed by history: corporate battles over control of the fur trade, the extension of
American
power into the
West
, the ravages of imported disease, the violence triggered by Indian removal, the incessant battles for land with encroaching
American
settlement, and the mix of opportunity and disaster in post-Civil War reservations and allotment. Occupying a dangerous intermediate ground in a continent of conflict,
mixed-descent
families were pivotal in the events that made the
West
."--From publisher.
