eBooks on EBSCOhost

I first searched Red Cloud's War.  I had to go down to the 5th option before I actually got to anything about Red Cloud.  I got books on World War II and aviation and weather.  I noticed how you could go to the table of contents and view the "Most Relevant Pages".  The table of contents for the two books I chose revealed nothing but the title of the book.  Also, some of the "Most Relevant Pages" looked to be index pages.

As far as the Constitution Day projects I would recommend the following:

1.  Representing Popular Sovereignty:  The Constitution in American Political Culture

2.  Our Elusive Constitution:  Silences, Paradoxes, Priorities

3.  The Constitution, the Law, and Freedom of Expression 1787-1987

When I went to the Advanced Search I chose Nebraska.  Everything there seems to be from the University of Nebraska Press.  Many things on Native Americans.   Top three were:

1.  Turtle Lung Woman's Daughter

2.  Science and Native American Communities:  Legacies of Pain, Visions of Promise

3.  A Final Promise:  The Campaign to Assimilate the Indians 1880-1920.
