Bøger af Edward J. Cashin

By following the career of one influential trader (Lachlan McGillivray) from 1736 to 1776, Cashin presents a historical perspective of the frontier, as a zone of interaction between many cultures. Cashin profiles the figures who catalyzed the power struggles and explains events from the vantage points of traders and Native Americans.

Offers an account of the Lower Chickasaws, who settled on the Savannah River near Augusta in the early eighteenth century and remained an integral part of the region until the American Revolution.

In his germinal 1791 account ""Travels"", William Bartram recorded the natural world he saw around him but, rather incredibly, omitted any reference to events of the American Revolution. This work places Bartram in the context of his times and explains his conspicuous avoidance of people, places, and events embroiled in revolutionary fervor.

The King's Ranger explores not only military history but also such aspects of the American past as colonial migration, upheaval in the backcountry... and the formation of new settlements in the Caribbean.
