She provides insight on a theme until recently too often ignored by scholars of the Mississippi Valley. General histories of Missouri and Saint Louis mention Indian slavery but do not treat the subject in depth. The specialized literature stretches back thirty-five years, but only recently have scholars begun to integrate the story of Indian slavery into the larger historical narrative. The author forces us to reconsider the existence and role of Indian slaves in a society in which French and Americans increasingly intermixed. The baptism records analyzed by Sharon Person document the indisputable existence and persistence of Indian slavery in early Saint Louis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 10 x 7.99 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 26, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42740136312895,"sku":"9781456303013","price":24.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/ae46ed959fcfa168f35e0bf8a8040ffb.webp?v=1765159030","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/standing-up-for-indians-baptism-registers-as-an-untapped-source-for-multicultural-relations-in-st-louis-1766-1821-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
