Through stories that are vivid, humane, and powerful, Anne F. Hyde deftly explores families that mixed native and settler cultures in the heart of North America. Sometimes coercive, but often mutual, these intimate relations helped diverse peoples coexist in American borderlands.—Alan Taylor, author of American Republics

Anne F.

—Philip J. Deloria, author of Becoming Mary Sully
