George
Washington's place in the foundations of the Republic remains
unrivalled. His life story--from his beginnings as a surveyor and
farmer, to colonial soldier in the Virginia Regiment, leader of the
Patriot cause, commander of the Continental Army, and finally first
president of the United States--reflects the narrative of the nation he
guided into existence. There is, rightfully, no more chronicled figure.
Yet
American history has largely forgotten what Washington himself knew
clearly: that the new Republic's fate depended less on grand rhetoric of
independence and self-governance and more on land--Indian land. Colin
G. Calloway's biography of the greatest founding father reveals in full
the relationship between Washington and the Native leaders he dealt with
intimately across the decades: Shingas, Tanaghrisson, Guyasuta,
Attakullakulla, Bloody Fellow, Joseph Brant, Cornplanter, Red Jacket,
and Little Turtle, among many others. Using the prism of Washington's
life to bring focus to these figures and the tribes they
represented--the Iroquois Confederacy, Lenape, Miami, Creek,
Delaware--Calloway reveals how central their role truly was in
Washington's, and therefore the nation's, foundational narrative.
Calloway
gives the First Americans their due, revealing the full extent and
complexity of the relationships between the man who rose to become the
nation's most powerful figure and those whose power and dominion
declined in almost equal degree during his lifetime. His book invites us
to look at America's origins in a new light.
The Indian World of George Washington is
a brilliant portrait of both the most revered man in American history
and those whose story during the tumultuous century in which the country
was formed has, until now, been only partially told.
