Suddenly free after the Civil War, African American women enslaved by the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, and Creek Nations had nowhere to turn. Freedwomen found themselves negotiating new lives within a labyrinth of federal and tribal oversight, Indian resentment, and intruding entrepreneurs and settlers. Linda Williams Reese is the first to trace the harsh and often bitter journey of these women.
