From the first shots fired in the Ohio Valley wilderness in 1754 until the Treaty of Paris signed in 1763, the French and Indian War became a conflict that encircled the globe.

So John had to do it. He killed every man, woman and child. This is the story of why he did it.

National parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier preserve some of this country's most cherished wilderness landscapes. While visions of pristine, uninhabited nature led to the creation of these parks, they also inspired policies of Indian removal.

Through much of the 20th century, federal policy toward Indians sought to extinguish all remnants of native life and culture.

In Hippies, Indians and the Fight for Red Power, Sherry Smith offers the first full account of this remarkable story.
