The American Revolution in Indian Country

This study presents the first broad coverage of Indian experiences in the American Revolution rather than Indian participation as allies or enemies. Calloway shows how Native Americans pursued different strategies, endured a variety of experiences, but were bequeathed a common legacy as result of the Revolution.

"The author's community approach produces the first thorough treatment of American Indians as something more than revolutionary warriors. The book is beautifully written and extremely well documented. Highly recommended for academic collections." Choice

"...a research work that is as readable as it is thorough....While each page is copiously footnoted, the footnotes never interfere with Calloway's supple prose. Maps and drawings accompany the text, and there is a detailed index." Kliatt

"It is a searing account of the impact of the Revolution on Indian Life." Bernard Bailyn, The New York Review of Books

"This is an unfailingly judicious and thorough book." Eric Hinderaker, Western Historical Quarterly
