N2  - "When Europeans first arrived in North America, the continent was already crisscrossed by a well-trodden network of Native trails. The traders, missionaries, diplomatists, and naturalists who traveled these trails depended in no small measure on the skills, knowledge, and goodwill of the Native people who were squarely in colonization's crosshairs. In Fellow Travelers, Philip Levy examines Native and European travel companions from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. He draws on anthropology and ethnohistory to convey how Indians and Europeans traveling together and seeing the same things might interpret them in very different ways." "Levy examines the writings of European travelers who took to trails and rivers from the Rio Grande to the Arctic and argues that travel relationships evolved from patterns of coercion and miscommunication to partnerships based on careful and constant negotiation. The shared trail was an arena of contested meanings. Levy explores the many forms such contests took and how they contributed to the larger shape and course of colonial travel."--BOOK JACKET.
