From 1855 to 1856 in western Oregon, the Native peoples along the Rogue River outmaneuvered and repeatedly drove off white opponents. In The Rogue River Indian War and Its Aftermath, 1850–1980, historian E. A. Schwartz explores the tribal groups' resilience not only during this war but also in every period of federal Indian policy that followed. Schwartz's work examines Oregon Indian people's survival during American expansion as they coped with each federal initiative, from reservation policies in the nineteenth century through termination and restoration in the twentieth. While their resilience facilitated their success in adjusting to white society, it also made the people known today as the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians susceptible to federal termination programs in the 1970s—efforts that would have dissolved their communities and given their resources to non-Indians. Drawing on a range of federal documents and anthropological sources, Schwartz explores both the history of Native peoples of western Oregon and U.S. Indian policy and its effects.
Pulitzer Prize-winner Richard Kluger brings to life a bloody clash between Native Americans and white settlers in the 1850s Pacific Northwest. After he was appointed the first governor of the state of Washington, Isaac Ingalls Stevens had one goal: to persuade the Indians of the Puget Sound region to leave their ancestral lands for inhospitable reservations. But Stevens's program--marked by threat and misrepresentation--outraged the Nisqually tribe and its chief, Leschi, sparking the native resistance movement. Tragically, Leschi's resistance unwittingly turned his tribe and himself into victims of the governor's relentless wrath. The Bitter Waters of Medicine Creek is a riveting chronicle of how violence and rebellion grew out of frontier oppression and injustice.

"The Land Remembers" is Rich Bergeman's photographic exploration of the landscapes that bore witness to Oregon's Rogue River Wars of the early 1850s. Largely forgotten today, the Rogue River Wars claimed more Oregon lives--both Native American and Euro-American--than any other armed conflict on the state's soil, and led to the forced removal of several tribes to the Siletz and Grand Ronde reservations. Over the last three years the Corvallis, Ore., photographer has explored hundreds of miles of back roads in the rugged Rogue River Country in search of sites from the war years. In a series of beautiful black-and-white infrared images, Bergeman brings the scale of history into focus with views of a sublime and enduring landscape that bore witness to those tragic events over 160 years ago.
