Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex history of the Choctaw Nation and their struggle for land rights and recognition as citizens. It primarily focuses on the legal battles surrounding the Mississippi Choctaws, who remained in their ancestral lands after the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830, and their claims to Choctaw citizenship and tribal assets. Set against the backdrop of westward expansion and Indian removal policies in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the book sheds light on the intricacies of tribal treaties, federal legislation, and the fight against fraudulent claims to Choctaw enrollment. The author meticulously examines key legal documents, congressional hearings, and reports from government officials to present a comprehensive account of this intricate issue. The book explores themes of tribal sovereignty, cultural identity, and the enduring legacy of colonialism on indigenous communities. It exposes the exploitation faced by the Choctaw Nation and their unwavering determination to preserve their heritage and rightful claims to their land. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the ongoing struggle for justice and self-determination faced by the Choctaw people, highlighting the significance of historical understanding and legal advocacy in protecting indigenous rights.

Patrick Jay Hurley(January 8, 1883- July 30, 1963) was an American politician anddiplomat. He was theUnited States Secretary of Warfrom 1929 to 1933, but is best remembered for being Ambassador to China in 1945, during which he was instrumental in gettingJoseph Stilwellrecalled from China and replaced with the more diplomatic GeneralAlbert Coady Wedemeyer. Hurley's lack of what was considered to be a proper ambassadorial demeanor and mode of social interaction made professional diplomats scornful of him. He came to share pre-eminent army strategist Wedemeyer's view that the Communists could be defeated and America ought to commit to doing so even if it meant backing theKuomintangandChiang Kai-shekto the hilt. Thomas Edgar Stephens (November 18, 1884 - January 4, 1966)[1][2] was a Welsh-American artist and portrait painter. Born in Cardiff, Wales in 1886, he studied at the Art School of Cardiff University, then at the Heatherly School in London, and then at the Académie Julian in Paris. One of the first portraits Stephens painted upon his arrival in the United States in 1929 was that of Abraham Lincoln. His portrait of Eisenhower hangs in the Smithsonian Institution's Gallery of Presidents in Washington, D.C. and his portrait of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower at Gettysburg Battlefield home. His portrait of Eisenhower appeared on the front page of Time on April 4, 1969, the issue that carries Eisenhower's obituary. Stephens also painted portraits of George C. Marshall and Douglas MacArthur and many more of the Army's foremost generals of World War II on commission from the United States Military Academy. That of MacArthur appeared on a Life magazine cover on August 28, 1950. He also painted many judges such as Fred M. Vinson and Charles Davenport Lockwood. He painted Harry Truman and the entire Eisenhower cabinet such as George M. Humphrey, Secretary of the Treasury. He also painted the Duke of Windsor. Winston Churchill allowed him to paint his portrait at Eisenhower's request. Stephens' works can be found, among other places, in the White House, the National Gallery of Art, the U.S. Supreme Court, the Pentagon, Walter Reed Hospital, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U. S. Naval Academy, the Eisenhower Museum in Abilene, Kansas, the Legion of Honor Gallery in Paris; the American Embassy in London, IBM corporate headquarters, Cornell University, Columbia University, Harvard University, the Harry Truman Library and others.…
