This doctoral study recovers a largely forgotten chapter of early American history: the enslavement of Native Americans. Lauber shows the practice among the Indians themselves and among Spanish, French and especially English colonists, tracing how captives were taken in war and trade, bought and sold, and governed by the same colonial laws that bound enslaved Africans.
An early scholarly treatment of a subject still often overlooked, useful to anyone researching slavery or Native American history. Download the free EPUB.
