Reviews

Rajtar, a volunteer for the YMCA Indian Guides and Princesses program, offers this reference to hundreds of conflicts, both major and minor, between American Indians and Europeans. Divided alphabetically by state and then chronologically within each, entries include name and date, a nonspecific location (e.g., Spring River), a brief description, and bibliographic sources. If the battle was a part of a larger war, Rajtar also gives the name of the war; and if there is a monument, he tells its location and briefly describes what's there. A "Chronology of Battles and Events" lists the battles in order with a reference to the book entry number, the name of the larger conflict, and the name of the battle or event. The battles covered range from the Spanish exploration in 1513 to the Yaqui War in Mexico in 1915. Also included are Civil War battles in which Indians participated and two indexes, one to battles and place names, the other to people. Recommended for academic libraries with large Native American history collections.AJulia Stump, Voorheesville P.L., NY
