| In this thoughtful and well-crafted book, Bruce Vandervort focuses mainly on American Indian wars in the region west of the Appalachian Mountains from the War of 1812 to the end of the nineteenth century. Attention to Mexico and Canada is, in comparison, limited, and its findings stated with less confidence, but Vandervort writes in some detail about the second Seminole War, 1835–1842, in Florida—east of the Appalachian chain. The latter was a struggle that created a host of problems for the American military and, he argues, was the longest Indian war in the United States. |
