"Neglected passage in the history of the war will make it indispensable to future historians." N.Y. Times (Dec.26, 1915)"Describes the development of diplomatic relations between the Confederacy and American Indians and the participation of Indians in the conflict." - Their Own Frontier: Women Intellectuals Re-visioning the American West (2008)"My research arrived at a turning point when I discovered the groundbreaking work of Annie Heloise Abel." - Savages and Scoundrels (2009)"Show that treaties binding the Indian nations in alliance with the seceded states were negotiated under the authority of the Confederate state department." - Book Review DigestAmong the earliest professional historians to study Native Americans, Annie Heloise Abel (1873 –1947), in 1915, published a groundbreaking book, "The American Indian as Slaveholder and Secessionist."In discussing certain Native American tribes joining the Confederacy, Abel explains:"They were slaveholding tribes, too, yet were supposed by the United States government to have no interest whatsoever in a sectional conflict that involved the very existence of the peculiar institution. Thus the federal government left them to themselves at the critical moment and left them, moreover, at the mercy of the South, and then was indignant that they betrayed a sectional affiliation."More about the author: She was one of the first thirty women in the United States to earn a PhD in history. One of the ablest historians of her day, Abel was an expert on the history of British and American Indian policies. As another historian has put it: "She was the first academically trained historian in the United States to consider the development of Indian-white relations and, although her focus was narrowly political and her methodology almost entirely archival-based, in this she was a pioneer."
