S'està carregant… Warrior in Two Camps: Ely S. Parker, Union General and Seneca Chief…de William H. Armstrong
   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Ely S. Parker, aka Ha-sa-no-an-da, aka Do-ne-ho-ga-wa grew up as an Indian, and represented the Tonawandas in a land dispute before he was 18. Trained in law (but rejected for practice as he was a Native, and not a citizen), he turned to engineering, ultimately becoming General Grant's adjutant general, the secretary who actually wrote the articles of surrender at Appomattox, and the first Native American Commisioner of Indian Affairs. He also was a Sachem of the Iroquois Confederacy, a Mason, and member of several post-Civil War groups. But to the end, he was a part of two worlds, yet fully of neither. A minor and yet interesting figure of the 19th Century. (  ) BruceCoulson | Jul 29, 2014 |  Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Warrior in Two Camps is the biography of Ely S. Parker, the first native American to serve as commissioner of Indian Affairs. The name Ely Samuel Parker is seldom found among famous Indian chiefs. Indeed, the name seems somehow out of place in the company of men called Black Hawk or Crazy Horse or Geronimo. But the prosaic name is part of the story of an American Indian who chose to live his life in the white man's world. It is a story in which a frock coat replaces the traditional deerskin, and a surveyor's level and a soldier's orderly book take the place of the wampum belt and the war club.
