      abstract = {With clarity and vigor, Gregory H. Nobles shows how  American leaders, beginning with Washington and Jefferson,  pursued a policy of national expansion and development that  enabled the United States to become the dominant power on  the North American continent. Within this broad framework  he also explores the settlers' diverse and complex  interactions with Indians as enemies, allies, and trading  partners. The result is a sensitive and perceptive account  of the patterns of contact and conquest on America's  frontiers over the course of four centuries.},
