The Phenomenon of "White Indians"

Description:

The phenomenon of White Indians became increasingly apparent during the early years of the United States. Many of the white Indians fought alongside their Native American brothers during the War of 1812. And as our nation extended westward, the incidence of the white Indian continued. The manner in which the phenomenon played out, however, depended upon whether the Indian was a man or a woman.
