Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A Nation Without ReservationBook One of The Nations of the PlainsWhat if the nations of the Plains had united-and forced the United States to recognize their sovereignty?In the years following the American Civil War, the future of the frontier seems inevitable. Railroads push west, forts rise along the great rivers, and Washington assumes the Plains will soon fall under its control.But the Plains are watching.Lakota, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and southern tribes begin to move not as scattered bands, but as a coordinated people determined to defend the land that sustains them. Guided by leaders remembered by history-Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, and others whose names rarely reached the halls of power-they study the tactics of the United States Army and turn them against it.Forts fall. Telegraph lines fail. Railroads hesitate.For the first time, the government in Washington must confront a possibility it never imagined: The Plains cannot be conquered.As alliances deepen and battles reshape the frontier, the leaders of the Plains attempt something few nations in history have achieved-turning resistance into sovereignty.A Nation Without Reservation is a sweeping work of historical fiction that reimagines the American West and asks a powerful question: What if the frontier did not belong to the United States?What if the nations of the Plains built a country of their own? This book imagines an alternate history in which the nations of the Plains unite and negotiate sovereignty after the conflicts of the 1870s. Many of the figures portrayed here-Crazy Horse, Red Cloud, Quanah Parker, and Ulysses S. Grant-were real leaders whose lives shaped the history of North America.While the events in this book are fictionalized, the cultures, landscapes, and conflicts of the Plains are grounded in historical record. The struggles over land, sovereignty, survival, and identity were real, and their consequences continue to shape the lives of Indigenous nations today.The idea at the heart of this story is simple but powerful: history is not inevitable. At certain moments, the decisions of leaders, the unity of nations, or the outcome of a single battle can alter the course of generations. The victory at the Battle of the Greasy Grass-known in U.S. history as the Battle of the Little Bighorn-was one such moment.In reality, the years that followed brought increasing pressure from the United States government, the loss of land, and the confinement of Plains peoples to reservations. In this novel, however, I explore another possibility: what might have happened if the nations of the Plains had found a way to stand together long enough to secure recognition as a sovereign confederation.This story is not meant to replace history, but to invite readers to reconsider it-to imagine how different the world might look if Indigenous nations had been allowed to determine their own future.The Plains were never empty land.They were home to nations.
