Produktbeschreibung

In "The American Indians in the Civil War," Annie Heloise Abel presents a meticulous examination of the complex roles that Native American tribes played during one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. Abel employs a rich, narrative-driven style, interspersing thorough historical analysis with personal accounts and testimonies to illustrate the multifaceted involvement of American Indians amidst the conflict. The book situates itself within the broader context of Civil War literature while challenging commonly held perceptions about Native American agency, highlighting their strategic alliances, military contributions, and the profound impact of the war on their communities. Annie Heloise Abel, a pioneering historian and one of the few women in her field during the early 20th century, drew on her extensive research to advocate for a more nuanced understanding of American Indian history. Her background in the study of Indigenous peoples allowed her to present an underrepresented perspective, emphasizing their critical engagement in the Civil War as both allies and adversaries, shaped by the pressures of colonization and federal policies. Readers interested in American history, military studies, and Native American affairs will find Abel's work indispensable. "The American Indians in the Civil War" not only enriches our comprehension of an often-overlooked dimension of the war but also invites readers to reconsider the narratives that have shaped, and continue to shape, American identity.
