Tales from a Revolution - Bacon's Rebellion and the Transformation of Early America

Informationen zum Autor James Rice is Professor of History at SUNY Plattsburgh. He is the author of Nature and History in the Potomac Country: From Hunter-Gatherers to the Age of Jefferson. Klappentext In this vivid account of Bacon's Rebellion James Rice tells the tale of Bacon's Rebellion (1676-1677) and its aftermath. As the tense drama unfolds, it becomes apparent that the struggle between the followers of the veteran governor of Virginia, William Berkeley, and the hotheaded young newcomer Nathaniel Bacon is nothing less than a battle over the soul of America; the story of the rebellion is also the story of race, slavery, western expansion, and empire in American history.
