An award-winning historian's beautifully written reconstruction of how Europeans lived in peace and war with Indians on America's colonial frontier.

"... subtle, original, and engaging all at once... His creative and elegant narrative not only explores an intiguing subject; it opens up a whole new perspective on parts of eighteenth-century American life that we thought we already understood." - Peter H.
