Book Review

Indians and Emigrants: Encounters on the Overland Trails. By Michael L. Tate. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2006. xxiv, 328 pp. $29.95, ISBN 0-8061-3710-X.)

In the book under review Michael L. Tate of the University of Nebraska at Omaha analyzes the full range of Indian-white relations—not just the conflicts—on the Oregon, California, and Mormon trails between 1840 and 1870. His considerable research in overland trail diaries thus becomes an extension of earlier, more limited, investigations of intercultural relations on those routes by John D. Unruh (The Plains Across, 1979) and Lillian Schlissel (Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey, 1982). Tate wants his conclusions to replace "popular images of savage Indians perpetually attacking intrepid pioneers and greedy whites brutalizing noble Indians" (p. xx). He succeeds admirably.
