Publisher's Synopsis
""A Century of Dishonor"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Helen Jackson and published in 1900. The book provides a detailed account of the United States government's treatment of Native American tribes from the early days of the country's founding up until the late 19th century. It highlights the many broken promises, treaties, and agreements made by the government, which resulted in the displacement, mistreatment, and forced assimilation of Native American communities. The book covers a range of topics, including the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the Trail of Tears, the Dawes Act of 1887, and the Battle of Wounded Knee. Jackson's writing is both informative and emotive, as she describes the injustices faced by Native Americans and the devastating impact it had on their culture and way of life. Overall, ""A Century of Dishonor"" is a powerful and important work of historical literature that sheds light on a dark period in American history. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for Native American rights and recognition, and the need for continued efforts towards reconciliation and healing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
