This is a sweeping survey of American Indian agriculture from its ancient origins to the present. It combines a wealth of historical, anthropological, legal, and economic information in a clear, readable synthesis.'This is without doubt the most thorough and comprehensive treatment of American Indian agriculture in print. It is multidisciplinary and impressive both in scope and in depth. Hurt shows a deft hand in summarizing not only the literature on the evolution of agriculture in North America, but also the dismal failure of American Indian policy to build on earlier Native American achievements. This book is the starting point for any serious consideration of the literature on subjects ranging from the domestication of corn, to precontact irrigation, to current Indian water rights.'Richard White, author of It's Your Misfortune and None of My Own.'This extremely worthwhile work is a significant contribution to both Indian history and general American history.'Gilbert Fite, past president of the Agricultural History Society and the Western History Association.'Merits the attention of all who are concerned about the past, present, and future of American Indians. The chapters devoted to the past century should be required reading for students of modern agricultural and American Indian history.'Peter Iverson, author of When Indians Became Cowboys: Native Peoples and Cattle Ranching in the American West.'A very thorough and readable account. The scope of this work is truly impressive. The bulk of it revolves around the implementation of United States federal Indian policies aimed at transforming Native Americans into selfsufficient yeoman farmers and farm families during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Hurt's chapters on Indian agriculture and water rights in the twentieth century are very timely and instructive. Should become a standard text for American Indian history courses.'New Mexico Historical Review.'A useful introduction to the subject that is organized in an admirably clear fashion and can be recommended to student and specialist alike.'Journal of American History.'Offers fresh and vital insights into the life and culture of the American Indian.'American Historical Review.'A comprehensive, authoritative account of one of the most significant topics in the history of Indianwhite relations.'Western Historical Quarterly.
