Susan Kalter, associate professor of American as well as Native American literature at the University of Illinois at Normal, has written an introduction and annotated an edited reprint of facsimiles published in a limited 1938 edition by Julian Boyd and Carl Van Doren. Kalter also provides a glossary of people and Indian communities involved in the treaty negotiations the book examines. Although she never fully explains why Franklin reprinted these treaties, Kalter acknowledges that he had his own motives for publicizing them. |
