Conflict On The Michigan Frontier : Yankee And Borderland Cultures, 1815-1840

  • Conflict On The Michigan Frontier : Yankee And Borderland Cultures, 1815-1840

  • Attribution

    James Schwartz

  • Publication Details

    Book, Northern Illinois University Press, 2009

  • Description

    Schwartz examines how Michigan settlers blended New England culture with life on the frontier. Schwartz concludes that, while efforts to transform the physical and social landscape of the Northwest Territory generally succeeded, Michigan’s settlers blended New England and the frontier, establishing a landscape that resembled, but was not identical to, that of the East. Despite the focus on Michigan, Schwartz’s study sheds important new light on how settlers transplanted eastern culture not just to the Midwest, but to the entire American frontier.

Frontiersman : Daniel Boone And The Making Of America

  • Frontiersman : Daniel Boone And The Making Of America

  • Attribution

    Meredith Mason Brown

  • Publication Details

    Book, Louisiana State University Press, 2008

  • Description

    The name Daniel Boone conjures up the image of an illiterate, coonskin cap-wearing patriot who settled Kentucky and killed countless Indians. Boone did indeed kill Indians during the bloody fighting for Kentucky, but he also respected Indians, became the adopted son of a Shawnee chief, and formed lasting friendships with many Shawnees who once held him captive. Hundreds of thousands of settlers entered Kentucky on the road that Boone and his axemen blazed from the Cumberland Gap to the Kentucky River. Through his colorful chronicle of Boone’s experiences, Brown paints a rich portrayal of colonial and Revolutionary America, the relations between whites and Indians, the opening and settling of the Old West, and the birth of the American national identity.

Shadow Country : A New Rendering Of The Watson Legend

  • Shadow Country : A New Rendering Of The Watson Legend

  • Attribution

    Peter Matthiessen

  • Publication Details

    Book, Modern Library ed, Modern Library, 2008

  • Description

    NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST Peter Matthiessen?s great American epic?Killing Mister Watson, Lost Man?s River, and Bone by Bone?was conceived as one vast mysterious novel, but because of its length it was originally broken up into three books. Inspired by a near-mythic event of the wild Florida frontier at the turn of the twentieth century, Shadow Country reimagines the legend of the inspired Everglades sugar planter and notorious outlaw E. Shadow Country traverses strange landscapes and frontier hinterlands inhabited by Americans of every provenance and color, including the black and Indian inheritors of the archaic racism that, as Watson?s wife observed, “still casts its shadow over the nation.” Praise for Shadow Country ?Shadow Country is altogether gripping, shocking, and brilliantly told, not just a tour de force in its stylistic range, but a great American novel, as powerful a reading experience as nearly any in our literature. In every way, Shadow Country is a bravura performance, at once history, fiction, and myth?as well as the capstone to the career of one of the most admired and admirable writers of our time.? Miami Herald ?Matthiessen is writing about one man’s life in Shadow Country, but he is also writing about the life of the nation over the course of half a century.

  • Description

    In the wake of such violence, people are drawn to the crime and to the township — Andrew Knox, Dove River’s elder statesman; One by one, the searchers set out from Dove River following the tracks across a desolate landscape — home to only wild animals, madmen, and fugitives — variously seeking a murderer, a son, two sisters missing for seventeen years, and a forgotten Native American culture before the snows settle and cover the tracks of the past for good.
