*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
On the mid-18th century Pennsylvania frontier, alliances shifted fast and violently. It begins with broken promises. Charles Thomson traces how the Delaware (Lenape) and Shawanese (Shawnee) peoples were pushed away from the British interest, setting british-native diplomacy under a harsh light. Written as a colonial political pamphlet and historical documentary essay, this primary source reprint follows the pressures of land hunger, trade, and mismanaged negotiations in the Ohio Valley frontier during the French and Indian War. The result is an urgent, plainspoken account of shawnee indian relations and Delaware Lenape history as they were argued in the moment, not reconstructed later. For readers of early American history research, the pamphlet is a sharp window into colonial Indian policy and the rhetoric that shaped it; for Native American studies reference and collectors of foundational Americana, it is a compact but consequential document of 18th century Pennsylvania and its widening imperial fault lines. Thomson, later a key figure of the Revolutionary era, writes with an eye for cause and consequence that still rewards close attention. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
