Abstract: The story of a "squawman," as whites married to Indian women were called. In 1840, in Colorado, Joseph Janis tries to create a settlement of such families, but is turned down by the U.S. government and given a choice: remain on his homestead without his wife, or join her on a reservation. He chooses the latter. By the author of Duhamel: Ideas of Order in Little Canada.
