Description:

'Exiles and Prisoners' analyzes the removal and post-removal histories of Shawnee, Delaware, Wyandot and Potawatomi Indians. This book argues that the experiences of these eastern Indians from the late 1700s to the 1860s was at its core a struggle over geographic and political place within the expanding United States.
