Soft Cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Text in English. 325 pp. Markku Henriksson's book The Indian on Capitol Hill is one of the very first full-length studies of the United States Congress's Indian policy. From 1862 to 1907 Congress passed hundreds of laws regulating, organizing, and arranging Indian trade, land and fate. While passing these laws, senators and representatives believed in the universality of cultural development. Their belief was supported by the science of that time and by their bearing witness to the rapid advance of industry and technology in white America. Such information as they received concerning Indian societies, on the other hand, did not support their belief in the universality of cultural development. Because this belief did not match with Indian reality, even the legislation which was to help Native Americans was doomed to fail.

It was enough to lure Henriksson four years later to the second international Route 66 festival in Flagstaff. There he realized that Route 66 was the perfect basis for a multidisciplinary American Studies course, one that he has been teaching at the University of Helsinki ever since.Forming the soul of this work and yielding a more holistic and complex picture than any previous study are Henriksson's 1996 (east to west) and 2002 (west to east) journeys along the full length of the Route and his mastery of the literature and film that illuminate the Route's place in Americana.
