Based almost entirely on original source documents from the United States, France, and Spain, Carl J. Ekberg's Stealing Indian Women provides a novel overview of Indian slavery in the Mississippi Valley. His detailed study of a fascinating and convoluted criminal case involving various slave women and a métis (mixed-blood) woodsman named Céladon illuminates race and gender relations, Creole culture, and the lives of Indian slaves - particularly women - in ways never before possible.

"Ekberg presents perhaps the most complete portrait of any Indian slave women in eighteenth-century North America."--American Historical Review"Ekberg's work is a fascinating read that displays the full spectrum of his skills as an historian: painstaking research, stirring prose, and the ability to humanize overarching historical processes. . . . Stealing Indian Women, in fact, provides the most comprehensive assessment of this native slave system yet in print, and traces the institution's broad outlines through a survey of existing historical literature and a thorough interrogation of archival records."--Journal of Illinois History
