("Sometimes an historian is amazed that no one has written...)
"Sometimes an historian is amazed that no one has written the book he has in mind. Many have written about the Indians of western Oregon, but no one has attempted to integrate both history and culture into one volume that is concerned with all of the people between the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Further, few writers have explored the vast records of the federal government preserved nearly a continent away form the place where they originated." - The author. CONTENTS: 1.

The Law and the Land; 9. The Fight for Survival; 10. Reservation Years; 11. Attempts to Find Justice; 12. The Years Since Termination; Sources; Glossary; Index. Illustrated.
