Battlefield and Classroom: Four Decades with the American Indian, 1867-1904 by: Pratt, Richard Henry Editor: Utley, Robert M.

Softcover. Norman, OK, University of Oklahoma Press, Reprint, 2003, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 358 pages, soft cover. Covers are clean and bright, as are interior pages. Binding is solid. Contains B&W photography throughout. This book is about how General Richard Henry Pratt, best known as the founder and longtime superintendent of the influential Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, profoundly shaped Indian education and federal Indian policy at the turn of the twentieth century. Pratt's long and active military career included eight years of service as an army field officer on the western frontier. He directed the Carlisle school, believing that the only way to save Indians from extinction was to remove Indian youth to non reservation settings and there inculcate in them what he considered civilized ways. Previous owner's markings in black pen are present through the first half of the book. Record # 34127
