Thundersticks: Firearms and the Violent Transformation of Native America

byDavid J. Silverman

David J. Silverman uses Thundersticks to investigate firearms and the Violent Transformation of Native America through a carefully framed historical account. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
