Reviews

"Colin G. Calloway is to be commended for undertaking such an effort in The Indian History of an American Institution: Native Americans at Dartmouth, a work that embodies the complexity demanded by such a story while maintaining a unifying narrative. At the heart of his book is his belief that 'this college in the woods' was ostensibly founded for the education of Indian students."-- "Review of Higher Education"

"Readers will marvel at how adroitly [Calloway] has weaved his narrative from 'scattered glimpses' of Indian students at Dartmouth . . . The result is an admirable account, thoroughly contextualized, of all that can be learned about 'Indian History' at Dartmouth to 1970."-- "Vermont History"

"The historical context and description of individuals participating in Indian history are strengths of this institutional history of Indians at Dartmouth."-- "Choice"

In clear, engaging prose, Calloway carefully places the fascinating details of this story in the context of developments in the nation and in Indian country. This is a book that should be read and considered by a wise audience in and out of Dartmouth.-- "Historical New Hampshire"
