Calloway, Colin G.

Essential reading in Native American studies, as well as for those seeking a deeper understanding of George Washington and the Native populations of the early republic.

This highly recommended monograph joins Francis Paul Prucha's The Great Father: The United States Government and the American Indians as required reading for anyone interested in the history of treaty negotiations by American Indians. Readers should also consider Calloway's The Scratch of a Pen: 1763 and the Transformation of North America, which discusses the impact of the 1763 Treaty of Paris, ending the Seven Years' War.
