Author Description

"Of all the books published in the last several years dealing with Indian-white relations, this volume...is surely one of the best."--The Historian. "An important work that should be of interest to all those looking for waht happened to the day after Thanksgiving."--History:Review of New Books. "Carefully researched and well writeen."--The Journal of American History. Making a radical departure form traditional approaches to colonial American history, this book looks back at Indian-white relations from the perspective of the Indians themselves. In doing so, Salisbury reaches some startling new conclusions about a period of crucial--yet often overlooked--contact between two irreconciblably different cultures.
