Review

"Students could do no better than to utilize this excellent resource by Dr. Schlup and Ms. Blochowiak if they are pursuing a critical awareness of issues regarding Native Americans or if they are looking into commentary made by government defenders and detractors as well as the wider community's perspective throughout this time period." - R. Brett Davis, M.L.I.S. Librarian Crownpoint Middle School Gallup McKinley County Schools "If it is true, as I believe it to be, that original source documents are the heart and soul of the historian's craft, then this manuscript is to the researcher of Native Americans and the Golden Age as the mother lode was to the California gold miner." - Dr. Troy R. Johnson Chair, American Indian Studies California State University, Long Beach, CA "Those who delve into this period of American history will find this work engaging and useful in understanding the differences between the two cultures that has yet to be fully resolved." - William D. Welge, M.A Director of Research Division Oklahoma Historical Society"
