Description

The frontier region was once the interface between the American wilderness and European-style civilization. To the Europeans, the frontier teemed with undomesticated and unfamiliar beasts. Even its indigenous peoples appeared perplexing, uninhibited, and violent. The frontier wasn’t only a place, but a process, too. It was once a hazy line between colliding cultures, and a volatile region during which those cultures interacted.

This volume explores the frontier, explorers, traders, missionaries, colonists, and native peoples that came into contact. On a regular basis life is presented with all of its difficulties-the trading, trapping, and farming, to not mention the chronic threat of violence. Examining the period from the standpoint of both Europeans and Native Americans, this book features over 40 illustrations, photographs, and maps, making it the easiest source for any individual interested in how people lived at the old colonial frontier.
