Authors@Alden with Mary Stockwell

Join us for a conversation between author Mary Stockwell and Associate Professor Brian Schoen as they discuss Stockwell's book Interrupted Odyssey: Ulysses S Grant and the American Indians. This event is free and open to the public.
In this first book devoted to the genesis, failure, and lasting legacy of Ulysses S. Grant’s comprehensive American Indian policy, Mary Stockwell shows Grant as an essential bridge between Andrew Jackson’s pushing Indians out of the American experience and Franklin D. Roosevelt’s welcoming them back in. Situating Grant at the center of Indian policy development after the Civil War, Interrupted Odyssey: Ulysses S. Grant and the American Indians reveals the bravery and foresight of the eighteenth president in saying that Indians must be saved and woven into the fabric of American life.
