Removal of the Pottawattomie Indians from northern Indiana

About this book

This 60-page booklet is a review of the history of Pottawatomie occupancy of land in northern Indiana and Michigan, and of the treaty agreements of the 1830s between the Pottawatomie and U.S. Government representatives that gradually ceded all their land. It also contains excerpts from presidential speeches and other official statements of U.S. policy, illustrating how government policy toward treatment of the Indians evolved during the period 1800 to 1840.
