Book Description:
|
Offers a new perspective of Indian-white coexistence on the American frontier through analysis of historical, anthropological, political, and literary materials. Namias shows that visual, literary, and historical accounts of the capture of Euro-Americans by Indians are commentaries on the uncertain boundaries of gender, race, and culture during the colonial Indian Wars, the American Revolution, and the Civil War.
