Book Description

March 1, 1993 The Chicago History of American Civilization
William Hagan's concise account of Indian-white relations has become one of the standard histories of the subject. For this third edition, Hagan has updated information throughout the book and added a new chapter, "Domestic, Dependent Nations," in which he discusses developments in Native American life in the 1970s and 1980s. In his new bibliographic essay, Hagan surveys recent research and offers suggestions for further reading.

"The author has reduced the long story—often as tangled as a five-year-old's fishing line—into a brief, clear, and highly interesting book. . . . A remarkable achievement."—San Francisco Chronicle

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing and uninformative, November 4, 2004
By 
For somebody who knows nothing or little about the history of Indian-white relations in America, this book would be no help. I have read extensively on this subject and was therefore able to make conclusions about what Hagan was saying throughout the book. He quotes frequently in places that don't fit and have no place in the text, he alludes to things but does not explain what he means, he mentions historical characters but does so in a way that leaves either misinformed impressions or leaves the reader clueless as to why he even mentioned them. For a book by a University Professor and in the Chicago History series, this book is a sad excuse for covering "American Indians."
