Finally, A Real Life Story about a Lobbyist, and How They Work
Bryce Harlow passed away more than a decade ago, but within lobbying circles in Washington, he remains legendary.If some think the work of a lobbyist is not consistent with "Mr. Integrity," think again -- Bryce Harlow set a standard that still exists today for how to earn and keep the trust of public and corporate officials, at the highest levels.

Bryce was a native Oklahoman who brought his values of humility, candor, honesty and trust with him.His resume includes stints on Capitol Hill, the White House (as President Eisenhower's chief "lobbyist"), and founder of Procter and Gamble's Washington Office.Today, a foundation and an institute on business and government affairs -- training young people in the art and science of government relations -- bears his name. This books explains why.It educates and inspires.

Given all recent scandals and horrible perceptions created by a very small number of disruptable Washington insiders, this book is a wonderful reminder that integrity was, and still is, a fundamental value of the some 35,000 lobbyists who are registered in Washington, DC today, and the thousands more who toil in state capitols and city halls around the United States.

Product Description
The road from dispossessed people to successful nation was a long one, but for the Choctaws it has been worth the journey. This book examines how one tribe moved beyond setbacks to establish a powerful modern tribal government.

The Choctaws in Oklahoma begins with the Choctaws' removal from Mississippi to Indian Territory in the 1830s and then traces the history of the tribe's subsequent efforts to retain and expand its rights and to reassert tribal sovereignty in the late twentieth century. As Kidwell explains, Choctaws adapted to the very structures imposed on them by their colonizers: courts and laws. Tribal politicians quickly learned to use the rhetoric of dependency on the government, but they also demanded justice in the form of fulfillment of their treaty rights, and the Choctaw Nation confronted the government as a legal adversary to achieve its own ends. The Choctaws have adroitly negotiated with the United States and created the Choctaw Nation that exists today.

The Choctaws' story illuminates a key point in contemporary scholarship on the history of American Indians: that they were not passive victims of colonization and did not assimilate quietly into American society. The Choctaws in Oklahoma illustrates one tribe's remarkable success in asserting its sovereignty and establishing a national identity in the face of seemingly insurmountable legal obstacles. ...

Excellently sourced history, if a little thin at the end
This is a solid, well-sourced book for anyone interested in Indian and specifically Choctaw history, including law and Federal policies.Dr. Kidwell, always a superb writer, has a firm grasp of her sources (including an 1855 book by Peter Pitchlynn that I really HAVE to get over to the Library of Congress to see), and includes a chapter of her own family history to add a good personal touch.At no point in this work did I ever have a question about where an assertion was based in the extant record.

I do disagree slightly with Dr. Kidwell's take on two events (one being the excitement following the 1902 election), based on documents she does not appear to have touched (at NARA DC).This is always the fun part of being a researcher/scholar-- finding new sources to further lift the veil of time.

The two final chapters have the feel of an author rushed to deadline.I have no idea if this was the case, but I was really hoping for more in-depth examination of the circumstances related to the re-emergence of public Choctaw tribal political activity.

Seeing Dr. Robert K. Thomas (may his memory be for a blessing) mentioned and cited is wonderful."Uncle Bob," as he was known by his students, is still missed for his unvarnished opinions and concern for the development of both Indian scholars and scholars of Indian Studies.

An excellent work.

Attempts to draw the lines connecting the past of this Native American tribe from their wrongful displacement
A people displaced, a people whose history has been hard to track. "The Choctaws in Oklahoma: From Tribe to Nation, 1855-1970" attempts to draw the lines connecting the past of this Native American tribe from their wrongful displacement back in the mid nineteenth century to over one hundred years later. A story of how a tribe tries to stay true to its heritage when everything around them tries to change them, "The Choctaws in Oklahoma" is both saddening and intriguing about the cruelty and resolve of human nature.
