    George Washington and the French and Indian War

    by Daniel R. Grimes ...
    This is the story of one of the biggest Indian victories over whites in the history of North America.

  • The Nursery of the Holy Spirit

    Welcoming Children in Worship

    by Daniel R. Hyde ...
    Public worship is the nursery of the Holy Spirit. As you enter the sanctuary, you notice them at once. Then, as you take your seat next to a family, they are right there beside you. Throughout the ensuing service, you see them--and hear them. The presence of children in public worship is not only striking, but also increasingly strange in modern American church life. In fact, the idea of your ... Read more

  • Ely Parker: The Seneca Engineer Who Wrote the Surrender at Appomattox

    by Daniel R. Whitfield ...
    As a boy on the Tonawanda Reservation, Ha-sa-no-an-da sat outside the ring of men at the council fire and listened to the old chief John Blacksmith turn the government's word over like a cracked stone: cession, a giving up. A treaty signed at Buffalo Creek was supposed to send the Seneca west, but the Tonawanda band had never put their hands to it. When the talk turned to lawyers and petitions, ... Read more

  • Ninety Million Acres: The Dawes Act and the Theft of Indian Land

    by Daniel R. Whitfield ...
    The treaty the Lakota signed at Fort Laramie in 1868 set aside a reservation "for the absolute and undisturbed use and occupation" of their people. Its twelfth article went further: no part of that land could be given up without the consent of three-fourths of the adult men, not a bare majority and not the signature of one agreeable chief. Red Cloud would not sign at all until the Army's forts on ... Read more

  • The War for the Great Lakes: Pontiac's Confederacy, 1763-1766

    by Daniel R. Cadotte ...
    The plan depended on an open gate. In May 1763 an Odawa speaker named Pontiac gathered more than three hundred Odawa, Ojibwe, Potawatomi and Huron-Wendat warriors across the river from Fort Detroit. They would ask to come inside for a council, as they always had, and take the fort from within. But someone had warned the commandant, Major Henry Gladwin, and on the morning of May 9 the gates stayed ... Read more

  • The Cheyenne Wars: Dog Soldiers, Roman Nose, and the Central Plains

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    How did a people who gathered wild rice from canoes in the lake country of Minnesota become the horsemen who fought the United States Army across the central plains? The Tsitsistas, the Cheyenne, remember it not as one departure but as a slow drift west, a generation at a time: to river villages and cornfields on the Missouri, to horses traded north from the Spanish settlements, to the buffalo, ...

  • The Prophet and the Confederacy: Tenskwatawa, Tippecanoe, and the War for Native Power

    by Daniel R. Whitfield ...
    The men nearest him dragged him out of the fire by his ankles. Lalawethika, the Noisemaker, a one-eyed Shawnee with a mocking tongue and a thirst for trade rum, had stood up to speak in a smoky lodge that winter of 1805 and pitched face first into the flames. For hours he lay so still that the camp began to plan his burial. Then he sat up and told them what he had seen: two roads, a great fire, ... Read more

  • Jim Thorpe: The Greatest Athlete and the Fight for His Medals

    by Daniel R. Whitfield ...
    Bright Path. That is what Wa-Tho-Huk means, the name given to a boy born in a small frame house on the Sac and Fox allotment south of Prague, Indian Territory, after a thunderstorm came up the Canadian River valley in the spring of 1887. That February, Congress had passed the Dawes Act and begun cutting the reservations into parcels. The boy grew up between the two: a Sac and Fox name, and a ... Read more

  • Fallen Timbers: Little Turtle, St. Clair, and the Fight for Ohio

    by Daniel R. Whitcomb ...
    From Kekionga, where the St. Joseph and the St. Marys join to make the Maumee, a canoe could reach Lake Erie, Detroit and Albany, or the Wabash, the Mississippi and New Orleans. The Myaamia, the Miami, had built their principal town at that hinge on purpose. In the middle of the eighteenth century it was one of the busiest places between the Great Lakes and the Ohio, a town of bark lodges and ... Read more

  • Between the Mountains and the Plains: The Jicarilla Apache Story

    by Daniel R. Whitlock ...
    A Jicarilla camp kept two kinds of house. In the valleys below the Sangre de Cristo the people lived in brush wickiups, low domes of willow poles covered with bark, grass and hide. When scouts brought word that the bison were gathering out east, the wickiups were left behind and the tipis came out of their bundles. People who carried both sets of poles knew that the year had two halves, and that ... Read more

  • The Pawnee: Earth Lodges, the Stars, and the Scouts

    by Daniel R. Whitcomb ...
    Why did every Pawnee earth lodge open to the east? Because the bundles were opened facing the rising sun, and because the Morning Star, the great light that climbs the sky before dawn, was the power that had brought the corn, the people and the world itself out of the dark. A man who built his doorway facing west was telling his neighbors something about himself, and they would not like what it ... Read more
