Greg O'Brien brings together in a single volume ten groundbreaking essays that reveal where Choctaw history has been and where it is going.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistinguished scholars James Taylor Carson, Patricia Galloway, and Clara Sue Kidwell join editor Greg O'Brien to present today's most important research, while Choctaw writer and filmmaker LeAnne Howe offers a vital counterpoint to conventional scholarly views. In a chronological survey of topics spanning the precontact era to the 1830s, essayists take stock of the great achievements in recent Choctaw ethnohistory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGalloway explains the Choctaw civil war as an interethnic conflict. Carson reassesses the role of Chief Greenwood LeFlore. Kidwell explores the interaction of Choctaws and Christian missionaries. A new essay by O'Brien explores the role of Choctaws during the American Revolution as they decided whom to support and why. The previously unpublished proceedings of the 1786 Hopewell treaty reveal what that agreement meant to the Choctaws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaken together, these and other essays show how ethnohistorical approaches and the \"new Indian history\" have influenced modern Choctaw scholarship. No other recent collection focuses exclusively on the Choctaws, making \u003ci\u003ePre-removal Choctaw History\u003c\/i\u003e an indispensable resource for scholars and students of American Indian history, ethnohistory, and anthropology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eO'Brien, Greg:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreg O'Brien\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of History and Director of Graduate Studies at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro.
