From Coin World review: "Dr. Prucha, a professor of history at Marquette, has published a comprehensive new work on Indian peace medals. It supplies a wealth of new information on this series and represents the first significant work on this subject to be offered to the numismatist in almost half a century. This rich historical survey provides Indian peace medal collectors with a degree of comprehension of the series which was not available before."

1992 catalogue of USDA programs for Native American tribes and organizations.

From the cover: "This unique and important study examines the lives and legacies of women who executed complex decision-making and diplomacy to navigate shifting frameworks of kinship, land ownership, and cultural production in dealings with colonial encroachments, white settlers, and Euro-American legal systems and governments from the mid-sixteenth century to the early nineteenth century. Personified in the figure of Sally New River, a Catawba cultural leader to whom 500 remaining acres of occupied tribal lands were deeded on behalf of the community in 1796 and which she managed until her death in 1821, Bauer reveals how women worked to ensure the survival of the Catawba people and their Catawba identity, an effort that resulted in a unified nation."

From the cover: "The Catawba Indians are aboriginal to South Carolina, and their pottery tradition may be traced to 2,400 B.C. When Hernando de Soto visited the Catawba Nation (then Cofitachique) in 1540, he found a sophisticated Mississippian Culture. After the founding of Charleston in 1670, the Catawba population declined. Throughout subsequent demographic stress, the Catawba supported themselves by making and peddling pottery. They have the only surviving Native American pottery tradition east of the Mississippi. Without pottery, there would be no Catawba Indian Nation today."

From the cover: "While the Catawba once were the inhabitants of a large swath of land that covered parts of North and South Carolina, after managing to remain in the Carolinas during the notorious Trail of Tears, most Catawba now live on a reservation in York County, South Carolina. In Catawba Nation: Treasures in History, Thomas J. Blumer seeks to preserve and present the history of this resilient people. Blumer chronicles Catawba history, such as Hernando de Soto's meeting with the Lady of Cofitachique, the leadership of Chief James Harris and the fame of potter Georgia Harris, who won the National Heritage Award for her art. Using an engaging mix of folklore, oral history and historical records, Blumer weaves an accessible history of the tribe, preserving their story of suffering and survival for future generations."

Very brief overview of Catawba history produced by SC Department of Education.

From the cover: "The Catawba Indians: The People of the River, is the first full-length work on this tribe that has been obscured and largely overshadowed by other well-known Indians of America. This history is concerned primarily with the tribes and fragment of tribes of Siouan lineage who inhabited the Catabwa-Wateree-Santee River basin, principally the Catawbas. It traces these Indians from the time the white man first appeared on southeastern shores, ending with the remnant that now lives on The Reservation near Rock Hill, South Carolina. The Catawbas were one of the thirty known tribes of Indians residing in South Carolina. Of these, the four principal stocks were Iroquoian, Algonquian, Muskhogean (Creek), and Siouan. The Catawba Indians gave their name to the headwaters of the river that has been traditionally associated with their home; and two of the tribes which The Nation absorbed, the Waterees and the Santees, are also recalled in the Catawba-Wateree-Santee basin. Constant in their friendship for Americans, the Catawbas fought with them in every war in which this country was involved, except the Yamassee War. Two tangible reminders of this faithful and fearless tribe are the Monument to the Catawbas at Fort Mill, South Carolina, and Camden's effigy to King Hagler, their noblest chief, which serves as a weathervane atop the old city hall."
