Note

  • Display Note: Abstract: To many people, the cutting edge of the American frontier pitted white soldiers, traders, and missionaries against the twin enemies of "the wilderness" and hostile Indians. David Edmunds, using a revisionist interpretation, clearly proves that this picture is oversimplified, excluding acculturated Indians such as the Potawatomis who were key players in the "drama of westward progress."
