From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: "Carl Schurz, 1829-1906, American political leader, b. Germany. He studied at the Univ. Of Bonn and participated in the revolutionary uprisings of 1848-49 in Germany. Compelled to flee to Zürich after the collapse of the movement, he finally emigrated (1852) to the United States, where he settled (1856) in Watertown, Wis. And became a strong supporter of Abraham Lincoln, who appointed him (1861) U. S. Minister to Spain. Schurz resigned this position to serve in the Civil War. Promoted to major general in 1863, he fought in the battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Chattanooga and served with Gen. William T. Sherman's army in North Carolina in 1865. Between 1865 and 1868, Schurz was Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, editor of the Detroit Post, and joint editor and owner of the St. Louis Westliche Post. He was U. S. Senator (1869-75) from his adopted state of Missouri. Antagonized by the radical Republican Reconstruction program and opposed to the administration of President Grant, Schurz aided in forming (1872) the Liberal Republican party. In 1876, Schurz supported Rutherford B. Hayes, whose hard money views he approved, for the presidency. He served (1877-81) in Hayes's cabinet as Secretary of the Interior. He was an editor (1881-83) of the New York Evening Post and wrote editorials (1892-98) for Harper's Weekly. In 1884, convinced of James G. Blaine's unfitness for office, Schurz led the mugwumps in their opposition to Blaine's nomination and candidacy. Schurz supported the Democrat Grover Cleveland in that year and again in 1888 and 1892. He turned to William McKinley in 1896 because of William Jennings Bryan's currency views, but in 1900 he supported Bryan because of his anti-imperialist views. He wrote Life of Henry Clay (2 vol. , 1887) , Abraham Lincoln: an Essay (1891) , and his own reminiscences (3 vol. , 1907-8; abridged vol. By Allan Nevins, 1961).

In 1976, the year of our nation's Bicentennial celebration, some of those same Indians came to Trumbull, Connecticut, to show support for the Golden Hill tribe in its land battle with a reservation neighbor. Legal title to the land was challenged as well as the tribe's right to exist. It wasn't until 1985 - more than a decade later - that the problems of the Golden Hill tribe were finally resolved. Claude Clayton Smith's Quarter-Acre of Heartache, told in the words of Chief Big Eagle of the Golden Hill tribe, recounts how the oldest and smallest Indian reservation in America survived this modern legal challenge and gained the acceptance and respect of the community and state. . more information

From the dj: The word has reached few of the white man's settlements, but an Indian 'uprising' - ideological, social, legal and political - is underway on the reservations. The 'new Indians,' college-educated, but contemptuous of industrial civilization and spurred by a growing anger, are on the move. 'Red Power' is their cry. Stan Steiner has wandered for a number of years among the country's Indian tribes, listening to them talk as they rarely do to an outsider. In this understanding and moving book he tells us what he has learned. That includes many dramatic narratives: the Washington State 'fish-in' of tribes - some armed - intent on saving ancient fishing grounds; the return of the GI warriors from foreign battlefields to be purged of the alien spirit; the 'Battle of Santa Fe,' where the government held a conference on Indian Affairs but barred the doors to the Indian leaders; the Red Muslim movement; ABC-Americans Before Columbus; the lonely life of tribesmen in the cement prairies of the Western cities; the Uncle Tomahawks who made accommodation with the Great White Father; the poor, alienated, the unemployed, the exploited, unaffected by the government's War on Poverty….With documents, bibliography, charts, tribal map.

The Edinburgh Edition is divided into three major sections: The Amateur Emigrant, The Old and New Pacific Capitals, and The Silverado Squatters. The larger part of the first section, dealing with Stevenson's crossing of the Atlantic, had not been published before and was bowdlerized at the insistence of family and friends.

In these matters few instances are seen of attempts to interfere with the crown in problems of administration: little independent action could be expected from a body of Commons which was unrepresentative and in which sat so many of the 'queen's servants. ' Under George I. , who understood neither the English language nor the complications of parliamentary government, the administration of colonial business was directed by a ministry which, while able to maintain control of Parliament, was even more independent of the crown by reason of the king's customary absence from cabinet meetings.
