Mr. Koblas presents a detailing of American Indian history from earliest times, carefully setting up the climate of inevitable confrontation with the arrival of white settlers in Minnesota. He explores the treaties made with the United Sates government and the Indian nations and explains why and how these treaties failed, how both sides failed to understand the fundamental differences in culture, and how the pressure put upon the politicians in Washington D. C., to open land for settlers enticed them to break treaties almost before the ink dried. Ashes continues with the final battles in the Indian Uprising through to Wounded Knee and the aftermath of the war.
