Title: The northern Navajo frontier, 1860-1900
First published: 1988
Description: "Focusing on an important part of the Navajo borderlands - the northern frontier - this book shows how Navajos were able to defend and expand their territory, reservation, and population during a period when most Native Americans were losing their lands. They accomplished this not through war or as a concerted effort organized from the top down, but by an "aggressive defensive" posture built on traditional culture and individual actions that varied with changing circumstances."--BOOK JACKET.
