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. 000452870 650_0 $$aCulture diffusion$$zAmerica$$xHistory. 000452870 650_0 $$aFrontier and pioneer life$$zAmerica. 000452870 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$xFirst contact with Europeans. 000452870 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$xGovernment relations. 000452870 651_0 $$aAmerica$$xColonization. 000452870 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775. 000452870 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xTerritorial expansion. 000452870 85200 $$bgen$$hE101$$i.N63$$i1997 000452870 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:452870$$pGLOBAL_SET 000452870 980__ $$aBIB 000452870 980__ $$aBOOK
