Indian Slavery, Labor, Evangelization, and Captivity in the Americas: An Annotated Bibli-ography. By Russell M. Magnaghi. (Lanham: Scarecrow, 1998. xiv, 557 pp. $110.00, isbn 0-8108-3355-7.)

I have a public admission to make, but I suspect that I am not the only such sinner: whenever presented with a bibliography even remotely related to my areas of specialization, I first rush to find my own name. The massive bibliography under review both gratified and disappointed me. One of my books, Presbyterian Missionary Attitudes toward American Indians, 1837-1893 (1985), is there in all its glory; the other, American Indian Children at School, 1850-1930 (1993), is not. Nor are a number of relevant articles in accessible academic journals. As the bibliography aims to present publications on, among other things, religious acculturation, those missing works might equally claim inclusion. Further, other important books on Indian "uplift" in the United States are missing: works by David Wallace Adams (1995), K. Tsianina Lomawaima (1994), Devon A. Mihesuah (1993), Margaret Connell Szasz (1974, 1988), and Robert F. Berkhofer Jr. (1965), to name a few. Russell M. Magnaghi might also have listed more autobiographies by Native Americans. Even this ambitious a bibliography cannot include all relevant material, but I have to wonder about possible omissions in other fields of Indian history. . . .
