Our Savage Neighbors: How Indian Wars Transformed Early America

$15.00

By Peter Silver

Published By W. W. Norton & Company

Year Published - 2008

Book Format _- Hard cover

Summary

Relying on meticulous original archival research, historian Peter Silver uncovers a fearful and vibrant early America in which Lutherans, Presbyterians, Quakers, Catholics, Covenanters, Irish, Welsh, German, French, and the English all sought to lay claim to a daunting and fertile countryside. Such groups rarely intermingled in Europe, and the divisions between them only grew- until the French and Indian War, when thousands of country people from both sides were forced to flee from Indian attacks. The author details how easily the rhetoric of fear can incite entire populations to violence. He also shows how it was only through this shared experience of fearing Indians, united these European s against what they deemed to be a common enemy. The book has many illustrations and maps.
