Keenan, "Encyclopedia of American Indian Wars 1492-1890

More Jerry " ?When thinking of Indian wars, images of John Wayne movies flash in the minds of most people, but the conflicts between European Americans and native people go back much further in time. Keenan, who contributed to Hostiles and Horse Soldiers: Indian Battles and Campaigns in the West (1972), documents conflicts and wars between 1492 and 1890. The entries cover most battles, wars, individuals, tribes/groups, countries, and concepts. Most entries are less than a page, but longer ones include Revolutionary War (three pages) and Yakima-Rogue War (two and a half pages). Conflicts covered range from the Battle of Mabila (1540) to the Wounded Knee massacre (1890). Biographical entries include Native Americans from Pocahontas and Powhatan to Geronimo. Entries for various pioneers, government officials, and officers include Edward Braddock, commander-in-chief of British forces in America during the French and Indian War; Simon Girty, a former Indian captive who acted as a scout for the British during the Revolution; and Nelson Miles, who waged war against the Nez Perce and the Apaches. There are entries for tribes, such as the Cherokee. Other entries include those for forts, policies, treaties, and weapons. Entries close with see also references and suggested readings, when appropriate. Full citations for the suggested readings are provided in the nine-page bibliography. There are black-and-white illustrations scattered throughout. The entries are short and closely focused on the Indian Wars, no doubt due to constraints on the overall length of the encyclopedia. However, additional information would sometimes help put a topic in perspective. For example, the entry on General Miles is illustrated with a political cartoon, with a caption saying that Miles felt the Indians rebelled because they were starving while the Indian agents profited. There is no further elaboration on this point of view in the entry, only information on the General's aggressive campaigns against the Indians during the 1870s and 1880s. With this new title, Keenan fills a gap in reference collections. Information on many of the entries can be found in other sources, especially given the increase in reference materials on Native Americans, but the Encyclopedia of American Indian Wars pulls them together. Recommended for large public libraries and academic libraries.
