Über den Autor / die Autorin

Rob Harper is Associate Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

Zusammenfassung

In Revolutionary America, colonists surged across the Appalachians, Indians fought to preserve their land, and a bloodbath ensued-but why? Breaking with previous interpretations, Unsettling the West tells the story of a frontier where government initiatives, rather than pioneer independence, drove violence and colonization.
