In this book, Celia Barnes seeks to assess the impact of Native Americans on the United States in that critical period between the end of the American Revolution and the signing of Jay's Treaty in 1794 and Pinckney's Treaty in 1795. This is a fascinating period in American history, and fascinating individuals -- Joseph Brant, Little Turtle, Alexander McGillivray, Anthony Wayne, and others -- appear on the pages. Barnes has done us a service by redirecting scholarly attention to this period and by emphasizing the role of Native Americans during these years.
A strength of the book comes from its use of primary materials in the United States, Great Britain, and Canada.
