Fighting Tuscarora; The Autobiography of Chief Clinton Rickard

“Rickard (1882-1971) was one of the greatest Indian leaders of this century.  Had he lived in another century he might have been a Sitting Bull, a Black Hawk, or a Chief Joseph, for he was cut from the same cloth as these leaders.  But Clinton Rickard lived and fought in this century, and the weapons he used were the law, public indignation, and diplomacy….One of the most significant books published on the contemporary American Indian.  Its rare insights into contemporary Indian problems make the book essential reading for anyone interested in understanding 20th century Indian politics and history.” Manuscripta
