Choctaw Confederates: The American Civil War in Indian Country

byFay A. Yarbrough

Fay A. Yarbrough uses Choctaw Confederates to investigate the American Civil War in Indian Country through a carefully framed historical account. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and social science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Choctaw Confederates leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
