Book
The European and the Indian : essays in the ethnohistory of colonial North America / James Axtell.
Drawing on a wide variety of sources, Axtell explores the cultural adjustments that occurred when white Europeans met and attempted to "civilize" the native Americans. He explodes a number of popular myths and illustrates how having the Indians as adversaries helped mold an American identity, leading to the American Revolution.
