Spirited Resistance - The North American Indian Struggle for Unity, 1745-1815

The events leading to this vision are the subject of A Spirited Resistance, the poignant story of the Indian movement to challenge Anglo-American expansionism. Departing from the traditional confines of the history of American Indians, Gregory Evans Dowd carefully draws on ethnographic sources to recapture the beliefs, thoughts, and actions of four principal Indian nations - Delaware, Shawnee, Cherokee, and Creek.
