In order to grasp Indian motives, John Hall explores their alliances in earlier wars with colonial powers as well as in intertribal antagonisms and conflicts. Providing a rare view of Indian attitudes and strategies in war and peace, Hall deepens our understanding of Native Americans and the complex roles they played in the nation's history.Black Hawk War, 1832Indians of North AmericaGovernment relations1789-1869Black Hawk War, 1832.Indians of North AmericaGovernment relations973.5/6Hall John W(John William),1972-1580902MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785021003321Uncommon defense3862131UNINA
