-Titulo Original : The Indian World Of George Washington The First President, The First Americans, And The Birth Of The Nation
-Fabricante :
Oxford University Press
-Descripcion Original:
George Washingtons place in the foundations of the Republic remains unrivalled. His life story--from his beginnings as a surveyor and farmer, to colonial soldier in the Virginia Regiment, leader of the Patriot cause, commander of the Continental Army, and finally first president of the UnitedStates--reflects the narrative of the nation he guided into existence. There is, rightfully, no more chronicled figure.Yet American history has largely forgotten what Washington himself knew clearly: that the new Republics fate depended less on grand rhetoric of independence and self-governance and more on land--Indian land. Colin G. Calloways biography of the greatest founding father reveals in full therelationship between Washington and the Native leaders he dealt with intimately across the decades: Shingas, Tanaghrisson, Guyasuta, Attakullakulla, Bloody Fellow, Joseph Brant, Cornplanter, Red Jacket, and Little Turtle, among many others. Using the prism of Washingtons life to bring focus tothese figures and the tribes they represented--the Iroquois Confederacy, Lenape, Miami, Creek, Delaware--Calloway reveals how central their role truly was in Washingtons, and therefore the nations, foundational narrative.Calloway gives the First Americans their due, revealing the full extent and complexity of the relationships between the man who rose to become the nations most powerful figure and those whose power and dominion declined in almost equal degree during his lifetime. His book invites us to look atAmericas origins in a new light. The Indian World of George Washington is a brilliant portrait of both the most revered man in American history and those whose story during the tumultuous century in which the country was formed has, until now, been only partially told. Review In addition to his lively prose, Calloway includes a number of excellent maps, as well as a helpful list of important Native Americans, often with their English and transliterated native names. This book should prove valuable to scholars and interesting to a general audience -- Robert M. Owens,The North Carolina Historical ReviewColin Calloway demonstrates how profoundly George Washingtons life was interwoven with the Indian world of North America. This book will forever change our understanding of the first president and the very meaning of the new nation he helped to create.--David Preston, author of BraddocksDefeatCalloway has written an important and original interpretation of critical years in the formation of federal policies toward the claims and rights of Native Americans. -- Booklist An expansive history...a detailed, impressively researched history of white-Indian relations during Washingtons lifetime. Insightful and illuminating. -- Kirkus Reviews In The Indian World of George Washington, Colin Calloway thoughtfully and lucidly recovers a lost time, when Indian peoples diplomacy and resistance helped to shape the new United States. No American President had a greater impact on natives or was more affected by his interactions with them. --Alan Taylor, author of American Revolutions: A Continental History, 1750-1804 Finally, one of the best historians of colonial native America has taken up the challenge of putting one of the most important pieces of George Washingtons life and experience back into the narrative. Calloways monumental analysis helps us understand a half century of powerful and impactfulnative American history more clearly, and gives a fresh take on Washingtons own challenges, frustrations, and successes-which together helped shape the destiny of American Republic. -- Douglas Bradburn, President and CEO of George Washingtons Mount Vernon The Indian World of George Washington describes a critical moment in American history with the beginning of the collapse of what Richard White calls The Middle Ground between white settlers and Indians.
