Synopsis
This history of the native peoples of western Oregon is a systematic study of the formation, application, and effects of United States Indian policy. Historian E.A. Schwartz tells how contacts with whites early in the nineteenth century culminated in the pork-barrel Rogue River War of 1855056, in which the Rogue River peoples demostrated superior tactics and repeatedly drove off more-numerous opponents.
"[This book] is the first detailed history of many native groups from western Oregon. It is a significant and revealing study, broad in scope and implications, and it will change the way we view the past of Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest."--Clifford E. Trafzer, author of the Kit Carson Campaign
