Spiegazioni
Muscogulus : This is an old-fashioned racist account of the western frontier by a white journalist and history buff. Sam Gwynne is naive about his 19th-century sources and hasn't read anything by Indian scholars. The book's popularity is due to its racy scenes of combat and slaughter, and the fact that it asks little of the reader. The (unexplained) title is partly swiped from a much better book, [[The Comanche Empire]].

Cecrow: Noting however, the author is not indigenous!
Muscogulus : This 1970 book should be no one's first choice for learning Native American history today. Other white authors had written heartfelt books about U.S. cruelty and injustice toward Indians in the past, to little effect. American Indian activists and the shock of the Vietnam War made the public ready to receive this one. It has had a historic impact but it does not provide a comprehensive view of its topic.
