The frontier region was 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 seemed perplexing, uninhibited, and violent. The
frontier wasn't just a place, but a process, too. It was a hazy
line between colliding cultures, and a volatile region in which
those cultures interacted.
This volume explores the frontier, explorers, traders,
missionaries, colonists, and native peoples that came into contact.
Everyday life is presented with all of its difficulties-the
trading, trapping, and farming, not to mention the chronic threat
of violence. Examining the period from the perspective of both
Europeans and Native Americans, this book features over 40
illustrations, photographs, and maps, making it the perfect source
for anyone interested in how people lived on the old colonial
frontier.
