shameless self-bump.

No one here has an interest in that period?

>>2384250

Are people on this arse of a board too busy posting in "blocks your path" and /pol/bait threads to contribute to a thread about an actual historical subject?

>>2384522
yes. Such a waste of board potential.

Richter, Daniel K. The Ordeal of the Longhouse: The Peoples of the Iroquois League in the Era of European Colonization. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1992.
>Explores the geographical and cultural factors that allowed the Iroquois to survive settler intrusion. Shows how their location encouraged them to play one European power against the other, how agrarian prowess provided a cushion in the face of overhunting, and how the incorporation of outsiders allowed for increased immunity to deadly diseases. By 1730s, settler intrusion seriously began to undermine Iroquois autonomy.

Axtell, James. The Invasion Within: The Contest of Cultures in Colonial North America. New York: Oxford University Press, 1985.
>A foundational book in the field that compares and contrasts French efforts to missionize the Hurons and Iroquois of New France with English Puritan efforts to confine the native peoples of New England to the so-called Prayer Towns.

Merritt, Jane T. At the Crossroads: Indians and Empires on a Mid-Atlantic Frontier, 1700–1763. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2003.
>Ties of trade, work, religion, and kinship linked the settler and Native American communities of Pennsylvania, but the outbreak of the Seven Years’ War divided communities and sparked the rise of a racial consciousness on the part of the colonists that reconfigured Native Americans who had been neighbors into savage “Others.”

Salisbury, Neal. Manitou and Providence: Indians, Europeans, and the Making of New England, 1500–1643. New York: Oxford University Press, 1982.
>Expands upon Jennings 1976 (cited under Introductory Texts) to recast the Native history of New England in reference to the terrible impact European diseases had on the original inhabitants, which allowed the invaders to occupy what Salisbury describes as a “widowed land.”

White, Richard. The Middle Ground: Indians, Empires and Republics in the Great Lakes Region, 1650–1815. 2d ed. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2011.
>Shifts the history of Indian-white relations from a story of conquest to one of a mutually invented middle ground where “cultural congruences” led to European and Indian alliances. Depicts Indians as central to cultural interaction. White narrates the history of this region as an imperial rivalry between the French and British and the Iroquois and Algonquians.

Havard, Gilles. The Great Peace of Montreal of 1701: French-Native Diplomacy of the Seventeenth Century. Montreal and Ithaca, NY: McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2001.
>Examines the speeches of Native and French participants during the 1701 Montreal peace conference, which marked the end of hostilities between the Iroquois, the French, and their western Indian allies. Downplays economic motives and argues that the Iroquois, like the French, were motivated by complex political and military concerns. The Iroquois relied on this treaty to maintain their political sovereignty and to establish trading relations with the western Algonquian Indians and the French while simultaneously remaining allied with the British. Previously published as La Grande Paix de Montréal de 1701: Les voies de la diplomatie franco-amérindienne (Montreal: Recherches Amérindiennes au Québec, 1992).

Preston, David. The Texture of Contact: European and Indian Settler Communities on the Frontiers of Iroquoia, 1667–1783. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2009.
>Argues for a more complex and harmonious relationships between the colonists and the Iroquois, contending that the Seven Years’ War began to change these relationships, especially in the Ohio River Valley. Adjacent to Iroquoia, settler relationships remained fairly stable. In the Great Lakes, Britain became increasingly distant from the Iroquois. Although the American Revolution devastated Iroquoia, many communities survived, which suggests the varying but ongoing texture of contact.

Calloway, Colin G. New Worlds for All: Indians, Europeans, and the Remaking of Early America. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997.
>Views encounter as an interactive process in which Indians changed Europeans and Europeans changed Indians. Interaction with the English, Dutch, Spanish, and French created multiple new worlds and led to nomadic Indian behaviors. Views the colonial period as a moment when relations between the colonist settlers and Indians remained fluid.

Silver, Peter. Our Savage Neighbors: How Indian War Transformed Early America. New York: W. W. Norton, 2008.
>Examines how violence and Indians were intertwined in colonial writing, shaping Pennsylvania’s backcountry frontier. Indians became menacing figures, ready to massacre innocent colonists. This imagery and writing led to Indian hating, intensified by the inflammatory rhetoric of the Seven Years’ War, which racialized Indians as savages and justified their annihilation. This rhetoric of violence was applied to a variety of “others” and became the unifying rhetoric that justified the revolutionary war.

Anderson, Fred. Crucible of War: The Seven Years’ War and the Fate of Empire in British North America, 1754–1766. New York: Knopf, 2000.
>This social and military analysis of the Seven Years’ War has a global scope that includes both North America and Europe, as well as places like India. This account shows the central role that Indians played in determining the outcome and details why the French, especially Montcalm, failed to win the support of western Indians. Iroquois support of the British was a crucial factor in the outcome.

Calloway, Colin G. The Scratch of a Pen: 1763 and the Transformation of North America. New York: Oxford University Press, 2006.
>Examines the dislocations and population shifts brought about by the ending of the Seven Years’ War. Although Indians were only one part of the larger demographic shifts that occurred when the war ended, it is Indians who often determined outcomes and who dominated the British imperial agenda in London in 1763. This book links Pontiac’s Rebellion directly to imperial policies.

Dowd, Greg. A Spirited Resistance: The North American Indian Struggle for Unity, 1745–1815. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992.
>Contends that the attempt to form intertribal movements during this time were basically part of spiritual movements. This book demonstrates that the Pan-Indian Confederacy had extended roots into the past and stretched across the entire woodlands region, from Great Lakes villages to southern Indian nations such as the Creek and Cherokee, and to the Delaware in the east.

Dowd, Gregory Evans. War under Heaven: Pontiac, the Indian Nations, & the British Empire. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002.
>Author criticizes the reasoning that traditionally explains this war and demonstrates that the war was linked to changes in the Atlantic world. War was fostered by imperialistic ambitions of British policy makers who chose to dominate the newly acquired Indian territory. Pontiac, inspired by growing nativist sentiment, demonstrated that the French had lost their lands but that Indians had not suffered defeat.

Edmunds, R. David. Tecumseh and the Quest for Indian Leadership. 2d ed. New York: Pearson Longman, 2007.
>Shows how Tecumseh’s diplomatic skills were far more crucial than his military skills in the creation of the Pan-Indian Confederacy. Examines the intertwined leadership of Tenskwatawa and Tecumseh and emphasizes the important role that Tenskwatawa’s spiritual leadership played in the evolution of the confederacy.

Grenier, John. The First Way of War: American War Making on the Frontier, 1607–1814. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2005.
>Argues that warfare in North America was profoundly different from that of Europe and that the settler colonists were committed to irregular and total warfare. Colonial methods of warfare emerged from frontier warfare against Indians. Colonists targeted food stores, villages, and noncombatant residents, and intensive violence became commonplace.
