Paperback. Condizione: Good. "This stunning history of the Catawbas?and their black and white neighbors?sets a new standard for the field. Merrell's book bristles with new insights and skilled decoding of difficult evidence. After reading this book, all those involved in teaching early American history should want to alter their perspective." ?Gary B. Nash, University of California, Los Angeles "The Indians' New World is closely argued from an astonishing amount of evidence, and it is lucidly written. It emphasizes the ingenuity and strength of will by which the Catawbas coped with disaster and preserved their identity as a people. Only a genuine scholar and fascinating writer could have paid tribute as James Merrell has done." ?Francis Jennings, Director Emeritus, D'Arey McNickle Center for the History of the American Indian, The Newberry Library.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. An award-winning historian's beautifully written reconstruction of how Europeans lived in peace and war with Indians on the early American frontier. We know them from Conrad, Greene, and Le Carre, as spies, diplomats, renegades, and traders. They've been with us since the mythic past, when Hermes carried messages from the gods to the Greeks, and when Deganawidah with his disciple Hiawatha built the Great League of Peace among the Iroquois. They are the go-betweens, the shadowy figures who move between us and them, linking different worlds. On the Pennsylvania frontier they were Germans and Irish, Delawares and Iroquois, with names like Weiser, Croghan, Shickellamy, and Osternados. These were the "wood's men," at home in the woods, knowledgeable in the ways of the other, able to negotiate the thickets of cultural misunderstanding and mistrust. From the Quaker colony's founding in the early 1680s into the mid-1750s, they did the hard, dirty work that helped maintain the fragile "long peace" between Indians and colonists. But skilled as they were they could not prevent the colony's sickening plummet from peace to war after 1750. The harsh lesson of the woods was the final incompatibility of colonial and native dreams about the continent they shared.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. James Merrell's brilliant book is an account of the go-betweens, the Europeans and Indians who moved between cultures on the Pennsylvania frontier in efforts to maintain the peace. It is also a reflection on the meanings of wilderness to the colonists and natives of the New World. From the Quaker colony's founding in the 1680s into the 1750s, Merrell shows us how the go-betweens survived in the woods, dealing with problems of food, travel, lodging, and safety, and how they sought to bridge the vast cultural gaps between the Europeans and the Indians. The futility of these efforts became clear in the sickening plummet into war after 1750. A stunningly original and exceedingly well-written account of diplomacy on the edge of the Pennsylvania wilderness.--Publishers Weekly.…
