‘Let Us Have Peace’
A Catalogue of Indian Peace Medals at the American Numismatic Society
By (author) Oliver D. Hoover
Let Us Have Peace offers a detailed numismatic, art- and socio-historical discussion of 302 Indian peace medals and related objects that entered the cabinet of the American Numismatic Society between 1883 and 2013. The medals represent an important and often under-utilized resource for the history of relationships between the Native peoples of North America and the colonial powers of France, Great Britain, and Spain, as well as their successors, Canada and the United States of America. Despite being inanimate objects of silver and copper, the Indian peace medals in the ANS collection are incomparable storytellers, each offering its own tale of the past that give us insight into the remarkable lives of the medals’ creators, distributors, and recipients.
