      abstract = {For many colonists, the American Revolution provided the  opportunity to continue displacing Native Americans. This  book provides an account of the role of Native Americans in  the Revolution's outbreak, progress, and conclusion. It  provides full coverage of the Revolution's effects on  Native Americans, and details how Native Americans were  critical to the Revolution's outbreak, its progress, and  its conclusion. The work covers the experiences of specific  Native American groups such as the Abenaki, Cherokee,  Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Delaware, Iroquois, Seminole,  and Shawnee peoples with information presented by  chronological period and geographic area. The first part of  the book examines the effects of the Imperial Crisis of the  1760s and early 1770s on Native peoples in the Northern  colonies, Southern colonies, and Ohio Valley respectively.  The second section focuses on the effects of the  Revolutionary War itself on these three regions during the  years of ongoing conflict, and the final section  concentrates on the postwar years. It adds the Native  American perspective to reader's understanding of the  American Revolution, a critical aspect of this period in  history ; Supplies a synthesis of the best current and past  work on the topic of Native Americans in the American  Revolution ; And shows how the struggle over the definition  and utilization of Native American identity, an issue that  was initiated with the American Revolution, is still  ongoing for American Indians. -- From publisher's website.},
