"One thousand white women" by Jim Fergus

One Thousand White Women by Jim Fergus
FIC FER available at Beaufort, Bluffton, and Hilton Head


"Imagine that the Federal government under President Grant actually promised the Cherokee Nation 1,000 brides as a means to assimilate the Indians into the white man's world. Imagine the consequences to the women who accepted and to their Indian husbands, considering that the whites generally never honored a treaty made with Native Americans. A fast-paced and riveting book."
