The Long, Bitter Trail by Anthony Wallace
The Hill and Wang Critical Issues Series: concise, affordable works on pivotal topics in American history, society, and politics.
This account of Congress's Indian Removal Act of 1830 focuses on the plight of the Indians of the Southeast--Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Seminoles--who were forced to leave their ancestral lands and relocate to what is now the state of Oklahoma. Revealing Andrew Jackson's central role in the government's policies, Wallace examines the racist attitudes toward Native Americans that led to their removal and, ultimately, their tragic fate.
Anthony F. C. Wallace, professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, has written some of the most distinguished and ethnological treatises published during the last forty years. Among the better known of these works are Death and Rebirth of the Seneca, a study of the origins and early development of the Iroquois Longhouse religion; Rockdale, an analysis of a nineteenth-century mill town; and St. Clair, an examination of an American mining town. Wallace is perhaps best known as the originator of the influential revitalization paradigm that has guided most studies of religious and culture change since its first appearance in 1956.
