Book
Peaceable kingdom lost : the Paxton Boys and the destruction of William Penn's holy experiment / Kevin Kenny.
"William Penn established Pennsylvania in 1682 as a "holy experiment" in which Europeans and Indians could live together in harmony. In this book, historian Kevin Kenny explains how this Peaceable Kingdom -- benevolent, Quaker, pacifist -- gradually disintegrated in the eighteenth century, with disastrous consequences for Native Americans... Based on extensive research in eighteenth-century primary sources, this ... history offers an eye-opening look at how colonists -- at first, the backwoods Paxton Boys but later the U.S. government -- expropriated Native American lands, ending forever the dream of colonists and Indians living together in peace"--Dust jacket.
