Synopsis
A history of the interrelationships among French Creoles and Central Siouan tribes, narrating a story of politics, trade, and the rise and decline of the fur economy on the lower Missouri River. Thorne (history, U. of California), arguing that cultural and biological hybridization is an underappreciated aspect of the region's historical development, redresses this historical gap by portraying the intermarriages between French fur traders and native women, their family networks, and the influences that persons of mixed ancestry had in tribal politics during the era of white settlement and Indian removal. Includes photographs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
