Alabama endured warfare, slave trading, squatting, and speculating on its path to becoming America's 22nd state, and Daniel S. Dupre brings its captivating frontier history to life in Alabama's Frontiers and the Rise of the Old South. Dupre's vivid narrative begins when Hernando de Soto first led hundreds of armed Europeans into the region during the fall of 1540. Although this early invasion was defeated, Spain, France, and England would each vie for control over the area's natural resources, struggling to conquer it with the same intensity and ferocity that the Native Americans showed in defending their homeland. Although early frontiersmen and Native Americans eventually established an uneasy truce, the region spiraled back into war in the nineteenth century, as the newly formed American nation demanded more and more land for settlers. Dupre captures the riveting saga of the forgotten struggles and savagery in Alabama's--and America's--frontier days.

Автор: Daniel P. Barr Название: The Boundaries between Us: Natives and Newcomers along the Frontiers of the Old Northwest Territory, 1750-1850 ISBN: 1606351095 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781606351093 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 49890.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: <p>New essays on the settlement of the Old Northwest</p> <p>Although much has been written about the Old Northwest territory, <em>The Boundaries between Us</em> fills a void in this historical literature by examining lesser known forms of interaction between Euro-Americans and native peoples and their struggles to gain control of the region and its vast resources. Comprised of eleven original essays, <em> The Boundaries between Us</em> presents unique perspectives on the history and significance of the contest for control of the Old Northwest territory. </p> <p>The essays examine the sociocultural contexts in which natives and newcomers lived, traded, negotiated, interacted, and fought, asking new questions about power, identity, and violence, both ahead of and behind the frontiers of Euro-American settlement. The essays do not attempt to present a unified interpretation but, rather, focus on both specific and general topics, revisit and reinterpret well-known events, and underscore how cultural, political, and ideological antagonisms divided the native inhabitants from the newcomers. Together, these thoughtful analyses offer a broad historical perspective on nearly a century of contact, interaction, conflict, and displacement. This volume promises to be of great importance to students and scholars of early America, the frontier, and cultural interaction. </p>
