    3. ===================================================================== Match: Bowles Source: GEN-MAT-HX-L@rootsweb.com From: "Helen" <Helenh@pdq.net> Subject: Revolutionary War in Indian Country-See Names The American Revolution in Indian Country, Crisis and Diversity in Native American Communities, Colin G. Calloway, 1995. Hardback, 6-1/4x9-1/4, 327 pages, maps, illustrated, extensive footnotes, and index. This book is in near new condition, if not new condition, and the illustrated dustcover is in very good condition with only a couple tiny wrinkles & a small area of sticker residue. Just a really nice book that shows how the Indians themselves were affected by the war. "This study presents the first broad coverage of Indian experiences in the Revolution, rather than of Indian participation as allies or enemies of contending parties ...it explores how the Revolution often translated into war among Indians and their own struggles for independence." It was largely a disaster for them, whether they fought for the British or the Americans or attempted to remain neutral. The Indian people were doing much the same as the American colonists: fighting for their freedom in tumultuous times...Calloway focuses on eight Indian communities from Quebec to Florida, and from the Atlantic to the Mississippi,,,and drawing on British, American, Canadian and Spanish records, shows how Native Americans pursued different strategies and endured a variety of experiences, but were bequeathed a common legacy as a result of the Revolution."
