Wi-Ne-Ma, The Woman Chief, And Her People - Paperback

by Alfred B. Meacham (Author)

""Wi-Ne-Ma, The Woman Chief, And Her People"" by Alfred B. Meacham is a historical account of the Modoc Indian tribe and their struggle to maintain their way of life in the face of white settlers and the United States government. The book centers around Wi-Ne-Ma, a Modoc woman who rose to become a respected chief of her tribe during the mid-19th century. Meacham draws on his own experiences as a government agent in the area to provide a detailed and nuanced portrayal of the Modoc people and their interactions with the outside world. He covers topics such as the Modoc War of 1872-1873, the forced relocation of the tribe to a reservation, and the impact of Christianity on their traditional beliefs. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American history and the complex relationships between different cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
