In a chronological survey of topics spanning the precontact era to the 1830s, essayists take stock of the great achievements in recent Choctaw ethnohistory. Along with contemporary research assessing the Choctaw civil war, the interaction between Choctaws and Christian missionaries, and the role of Choctaws during the American Revolution, Greg O'Brien has compiled previously unpublished proceedings of the 1786 Treaty of Hopewell and the literary work of Choctaw scholarship. Pre-removal Choctaw History is an indispensable resource for scholars and students of American Indian history, ethnohistory, and anthropology.
