This book was educational and entertaining! While it focuses primarily on Kindle, providing a realistic portrait of a man striving to help those he could from a population who were being mistreated by the American government, it also provides a well written and understandable history of the time period, differing cultures, and the relationship between America and the indigenous people Kinzie focused on helping. ( )Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. An excellent history of relations between Europeans and Native Americans. Specifically the American government of the 19th century and their treatment of Indians. John Kinzie was a man of many facets as described by his wife, whose memoirs provided much of the background for this book. Of course, many other records were also used when available. Together the information provides a compelling history of a man who had the best interests his fellow man at heart. Not without flaws, but still a man to be respected. The book focuses not only on Kinzie, but also covers the mid-19th century culture of the Northwest territory which this history covers. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In The Silver Man: The Life and Times of John Kinzie, readers witness the dramatic changes that swept the Wisconsin frontier in the early and mid-1800s, through the life of Indian agent John Harris Kinzie. From the War of 1812 and the monopoly of the American Fur Company, to the Black Hawk War and the forced removal of thousands of Ho-Chunk people from their native lands--John Kinzie's experience gives us a front-row seat to a pivotal time in the history of the American Midwest. As an Indian agent at Fort Winnebago--in what is now Portage, Wisconsin--John Kinzie served the Ho-Chunk people during a time of turbulent change, as the tribe faced increasing attacks on its cultural existence and very sovereignty, and struggled to come to terms with American advancement into the upper Midwest. The story of the Ho-Chunk Nation continues today, as the tribe continues to rebuild its cultural presence in its native homeland. Through John Kinzie's story, we gain a broader view of the world in which he lived--a world that, in no small part, forms a foundation for the world in which we live today.
