Omschrijving
This is the biography of Sherman Coolidge, Arapaho survivor of the Indian Wars, witness to the maladministration of the reservation system, mediator between Native and white worlds, and ultimate defender of Native rights and heritage.
"Tadeusz Lewandowski has written a valuable history of Arapaho activist Sherman Coolidge. At last, the field has a scholarly biography on this important but long-neglected Society of American Indians (SAI) leader."—Jack Evans, South Dakota History
“Pointed, polished, lucid, and readable. Those who study the era of assimilation will find much to savor in this account of Sherman Coolidge, a man who played a major role in the creation of a nationwide Indian organization and contributed to how Native people were publicly perceived during his lifetime. In addition, this biography also offers a narrative version of events that is interesting in its own right as it recounts the ups and downs of a human life.”—Philip Burnham, author of Song of Dewey Beard: Last Survivor of the Little Bighorn
