The Chiefs Now in This City: Indians and the Urban Frontier in Early America.
America's founding involved and required the melding of cultures and communities, a redefinition of ""frontier"" and boundaries in every possible sense. Using the accounts of Native leaders who visited cities in the Early Republic, Calloway's book reorients the story of that founding. Violent resistance was just one of many Native responses to colonialism. Peaceful interaction was far more the norm, and while less dramatic and therefore less covered, far more important in its effects.
