Seeds Of Discontent : The Deep Roots Of The American Revolution, 1650-1750

Attribution
J. Revell Carr
Publication Details
Book, 1st U.S. ed, Walker & Co, 2008
Description
A narrative history of the largely unexplored events?starting almost a century before?that inspired the colonists to launch the American Revolution. In the latter half of the seventeenth century, tensions between colonists and the Crown were strikingly similar to those of 1775: representative legislatures had been suspended, the charters of colonies had been revoked, free trade was being impeded by Navigation Acts favoring the Crown, and heavy taxes were being levied unilaterally. The rebellion spread down the coast, and for the first time colonists risked their lives against English firepower. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Fellow Travelers : Indians And Europeans Contesting The Early American Trail

Attribution
Philip Levy
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Florida, 2007
Links
Description
This study of 16th- to 19-century native and European travel companions, or “fellow travelers,” as Levy calls them, draws on anthropological studies and applies ethnohistorical methodology to convey how Indians and Europeans traveling together and seeing the same things might interpret them in very different ways. Examining the writings of European travelers who took to trails and rivers from the Rio Grande to the Arctic, Levy argues that travel relationships evolved from patterns of coercion and miscommunication to partnerships based on careful and constant negotiation.
