Reviews

[The] joint effort [of historians and anthropologists] to reconstruct the Indian past has produced not only a new definition of frontier but a major reinterpretation of early American history. The scholar who has done most to advance and popularize the Indianization of American history is Francis Jennings. . . . [He] has demonstrated once again that the American frontier was not a clear line between 'savagism' and 'civilization' but rather a wide zone of intercultural conflict, penetration, and cooperation. -- James Axtell, author of <i>The European and the Indian</i>
