These most resistant Native people, referred to as \"trouble causers,\" arrived to curious, boisterous crowds eager to see the Indian warriors they knew only from imagination. \u003ci\u003eFort Marion Prisoners and the Trauma of Native Education\u003c\/i\u003e is an evocative work of creative nonfiction, weaving together history, oral traditions, and personal experience to tell the story of these Indian prisoners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResurrecting the voices and experiences of the prisoners who underwent a painful regimen of assimilation, Diane Glancy's work is part history, part documentation of personal accounts, and a search for imaginative openings into the lives of the prisoners who left few of their own records other than carvings in their cellblocks and the famous ledger books. They learned English, mathematics, geography, civics, and penmanship with the knowledge that acquiring the same education as those in the U.S. government would be their best tool for petitioning for freedom. Glancy reveals stories of survival and an intimate understanding of the Fort Marion prisoners' predicament.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiane Glancy is an emerita professor of English at Macalester College and is currently a professor at Azusa Pacific University in California.
