ADAMS, JOHN W.
Indian peace medals of George III or His Majesty's sometime allies. - Crestline, California : George Kolbe Publ ications, 1999. - 164 p., 33 pl. - this authorative text completely revises most of the information previously published on the George III medals awarded to North American Indians during the late 18th and early19th century including those issued prior to and as a result of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 - including the undated series, "Lion and Wolf", "Montreal", and "Happy While United" medals (which the author surmises were issued specifically to celebrate the peace enacted after Pontiac's revolt) - unlike most of the previously published works on this subject, the author records the information from a viewpoint which is sympathetic with the Indians' attitudes towards the medals' historic and symbolic significance in relation to the historical events surrounding their issue - also included is perhaps the most extensive bibliography on Indian treaties, peace medals and the personalities concerned yet published
