A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Born: February 18, 1873, England, United Kingdom Died: March 14, 1947, Aberdeen, Washington, United States Annie Heloise Abel was one of the first thirty women in the United States to earn a PhD in history.[3] One of the ablest historians of her day, she was an acknowledged expert on the history of British and American policy toward natives. As another historian has put it: "She was the first academically trained historian in the United States to consider the development of Indian-white relations and, although her focus was narrowly political and her methodology almost entirely archival-based, in this she was a pioneer." Historians consider her most important work to be the three-volume The Slave Holding Indians. She studied British policy toward natives throughout the British Empire, not just in the new world. The American Historical Association awarded her the Justin Winsor Prize in 1906 for her manuscript The History of Events Resulting in Indian Consolidation West of the Mississippi River. She married George Cockburn Henderson, an Australian historian, in October 1922, in Adelaide, Australia. Henderson was hospitalized for poor health in 1923 and Annie returned to the United States. The marriage was later dissolved. Annie continued her work, traveling as needed to pursue research in Canada and England before retiring to Aberdeen, WA in the 1930s.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Indian alliance, so assiduously sought by the Southern Confederacy and so laboriously built up, soon revealed itself to be most unstable.
