The Indian Rights Association: The Herbert Welsh Years, 1882-1904 - Hardcover

"This excellent study deals with the most significant Indian reform group of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Hagan rightfully focuses most of his attention on Herbert Welsh, the young Philadelphian who founded the IRA and devised its reform tactics." --Journal of the West"Hagan's monograph will be welcomed by historians of reform, students of Indian history, and scholars interested in the evolution of ethnic and racial attitudes in the United States. It is a valuable addition to the literature in each of those fields." --Journal of American History"A fine example of monographic approach to historiography. . . . A truly scholarly work." --Nevada Historical Society Quarterly"A first-rate narrative. . . . An important contribution to our understanding of Indian policy and Indian life of a century ago." --American Historical Review
