Ellinghaus develops several key insights that will make contributions to historical scholarship on Indians, race, and western American history. -Margaret Jacobs, Chancellor's Professor of History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and author of A Generation Removed: The Fostering and Adoption of Indigenous Children in the Postwar World -- Margaret Jacobs Katherine Ellinghaus brilliantly traces the uneven practices that produced a powerful discourse of American Indian blood quantum.
