'This book is an important one. It will make you think.' South Dakota History
' … a new way of viewing the history of the Plains Sioux and their interaction with US government … author forces the reader to reconsider previously held ideas and to question the validity of sources usually employed to narrate the past … Ostler seeks to untangle assumptions about the motives of Ghost Dancers or of leaders like Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, illustrating the complexity of each choice made by the Sioux … Ostler's re-examination of the Plains Sioux story adds another important work to a recent wave of scholarship that sees significant agency in colonized people. this important layer of the human story helps correct the long canon of history written by the conquerors or colonizers. the author uses an engaging, narrative style and weaves story and analysis skillfully together. … excellent work and a significant addition to scholarship on the Plains Sioux.' Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History
'Jeffery Ostler's The Palins Sioux and U.S. Colonialism form Lewis and Clark to Wounded Knee offers professional historians and history students an insider's perspective of U.S. expansionism. … What makes Ostler's study valuable is that it can serve both as as a reference work for professors who need to expand or support their claims of American settlement as well as to Student's requiring an introductory text to American colonialism.'
