President Truman was sympathetic to the plight of "our First Americans," but did not fully understand the nature of their struggles. Hosmer (U. of Tulsa) presents a balanced perspective provided by Native and non-Native historians, in light of the Indian Affairs policies that he inherited, on his contributions to Indian rights (re: voting, education, and military burial) and wrongs (termination of tribes' special status). Based in part on the Fourth Truman Legacy Symposium held in 2006 in Key West, FL, the volume includes images of the peoples involved and government documents, and the transcript of a 1960-61 interview shedding light on Truman's views.
