Description: In expanding the context of removal to include the Old Northwest, and adding a portrait of Native communities there before, during, and after removal, Bowes paints a more accurate--and complicated--picture of American Indian history in the nineteenth century. Land Too Good for Indians reveals the deeper complexities of this crucial time in American history.
Brief description: John P. Bowes is Professor of History at Eastern Kentucky University and author of several books on Indian removal, including Exiles and Pioneers: Eastern Indians in the Trans-Mississippi West.
