Description

Into the American Woods: Negotiators on the Pennsylvania FrontierJames Merrell's brilliant book is an account of the "go betweens," the Europeans and Indians who moved between cultures on the Pennsylvania frontier in efforts to maintain the peace. It is also a reflection on the meanings of wilderness to the colonists and natives of the New World. From the Quaker colony's founding in the 1680s into the 1750s, Merrell shows us how the go betweens survived in the woods, dealing with problems of food, travel, lodging,

James Merrell's brilliant book is an account of the "go-betweens," the Europeans and Indians who moved between cultures on the Pennsylvania frontier in efforts to maintain the peace. It is also a reflection on the meanings of wilderness to the colonists and natives of the New World. From the Quaker colony's founding in the 1680s into the 1750s, Merrell shows us how the go-betweens survived in the woods, dealing with problems of food, travel, lodging, and safety, and how they sought to bridge the vast cultural gaps between the Europeans and the Indians. The futility of these efforts became clear in the sickening plummet into war after 1750. "A stunningly original and exceedingly well-written account of diplomacy on the edge of the Pennsylvania wilderness."--Publishers Weekly

Not sturdy
Color: Gold
The knob in the front broke less then 10 minutes of me using the bag. Not sturdy enough to fit a lot of things.

Wonderful
Color: Black
Pleasantly surprised. Packaged great, it even come in a modest dust bag. Roomy enough for day but still able to carry at night without being too casual. Great quality for the price! Highly recommend!
