Book Review

Choctaws in a Revolutionary Age, 1750–1830. By Greg O'Brien. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2002. xxx, 158 pp. $45.00, ISBN 0-8032-3569-0.)

This short monograph—a volume in the Indians of the Southeast series offered by the University of Nebraska Press—might escape the attention of those seeking broad-stroke volumes illuminating the tragic red-white story that is integral to our history. It should not be bypassed. As one of the many squares in a large quilt, Choctaws in a Revolutionary Age deserves to be examined, pondered, and then applauded. Greg O'Brien is a young historian offering his first book, and he presents a study of the evolution of the words "authority" and "power" from the decades when Native people fought other tribes or each other to the days, particularly after the American Revolution, when Euro-Americans moved westward from Atlantic coast states to the Mississippi River and beyond as one century gave way to another.
