Synopsis
A historian examines how the clash between settlers and Native Americans on the frontier stirred up resentment against the British during colonial times, and how the same clash was a factor during the early years of the new nation. In both cases, civilizing forces frayed at the edges of the frontier, unraveling into political unrest and leading to all-out war against the Indians. Patrick Griffin presents a bold reading of history, as he shifts the focus from the centers of power to the periphery.

Publisher's Note
Describes the long-term impact of the war that raged along America's western frontier during the American Revolution, describing how the events and circumstances affecting settlers between 1763 and 1795 brought about fundamental changes in social relations, political allegiances, and the relationship between the individual and society.

Industry Reviews
"Griffin judiciously weaves analysis into riveting stories of riots and unrest, and weds attention to race and marginalized people wit traditional political and military history"
(01/01/2007)

"Mr. Griffin's argument [is] woven masterfully through a compact historical narrative....His America--authoritarian, forged in violence--is a beast future historians of the Revolutionary period will need to reckon with."
