Our Savage Neighbors - How Indian War Transformed Early America (Paperback)

Relying on meticulous original archival research, historian Peter
Silver uncovers a fearful and vibrant early America in which
Lutherans and Presbyterians, Quakers, Catholics and Covenanters,
Irish, German, French, and Welsh all sought to lay claim to a
daunting countryside. Such groups had rarely intermingled in
Europe, and the divisions between them only grew until, with the
arrival of the Seven Years War, thousands of country people were
forced to flee from Indian attack.Silver reveals in vivid and often
chilling detail how easily a rhetoric of fear can incite entire
populations to violence. He shows how it was only through the
shared experience of fearing and hating Indians that these
Europeans, once irreconcilable, were finally united under the ideal
of religious and ethnic tolerance that has since defined the best
in American life."
